(a)

Expert Solution
Check Mark
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

A typical diameter of an individual hair fiber has to be given.

Explanation of Solution

The diameter of hair fibre can vary in size but it is commonly taking as 10μm or 0.1 mm in diameter.

(b)

Expert Solution
Check Mark
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The number of hair-fibre widths would it take to span the length cell phone has to be given.

Explanation of Solution

The cell phone length is dividing by 1.mm to give the number of hair-fiber widths would it take to span the length cell phone.

Example:

There are 1,490 hairs take to span a phone means, the length of cell phone is 149mm.
