A line drawn 20 cm long now measures 19.5 cm. The shrinkage factor is

  • A.0.5
  • B.0.025
  • C.0.975
  • D.1.026

Answer: C

Correct answer: 0.975

The shrinkage factor is the ratio of the present length to the original: \[ \frac{19.5}{20} = 0.975. \] It is less than one because the sheet has contracted, and being a ratio of two lengths it is dimensionless and can be applied directly to any other length on the same sheet.
