A body is 40 per cent grog by mass. If grog shrinks not at all and the remainder shrinks 12 per cent linearly, what is the approximate overall linear shrinkage?

  • A.about 5 per cent
  • B.about 4.8 per cent
  • C.about 7 per cent
  • D.about 12 per cent

Answer: C

Roughly sixty per cent of the body contributes a twelve per cent shrinkage, giving about seven per cent overall. The estimate is approximate because shrinkage is not a simple mass-weighted average, but it shows the effect clearly.
