SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the principle that for two objects of the same material, the ratio of their masses is equal to the ratio of their areas. This claim is challenged due to the omission of the third dimension, depth, and the lack of specification regarding the material's density. Participants debate whether this law applies to objects of the same shape or different shapes. The consensus indicates that the law in question is flawed as it does not account for volume, which is critical for accurate mass comparisons.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of mass and density concepts
  • Knowledge of geometric properties, specifically area and volume
  • Familiarity with the principles of material science
  • Basic grasp of dimensional analysis
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the relationship between mass, volume, and density in materials
  • Study the principles of dimensional analysis in physics
  • Explore the concept of geometric similarity and its implications on mass
  • Investigate the laws of physics regarding mass and volume for different shapes
USEFUL FOR

Students of physics, material scientists, and educators seeking to clarify concepts related to mass, density, and geometric properties of materials.

One of our teachers says that For two abjects of same material the following law must obeyd.
i.e the ratios of their masses will be equal to the ration of their areas,
wether this law works for objects of same shape or different?
what is the name of this law?
give me a link from which i can get sufficient information about this.

I would say that it's wrong simply because there is a dimension missing (area excludes the 3rd dimension of depth) and the density of the material isn't specified.

Areas?Do you mean volumes?
