1 cubic meter contains 500 bricks

The Standard size of the 1st class brick is 190mm

x 90mm x

90mm and motor joint should be 10mm thick

So brick with motor=200 x 100 x 100.

Volume of 1st class brick = 0.19 x 0.09 X 0.09 =

Rectangle, etc.,). Which shape will covers

maximum area

1 Newton = o.101971 kg

1 mm2 = 0.01 cm2

1 cm2 = 100 mm2

1 mm2 = 20 N

100 mm2 = 2000N

1 cm2 = 2000N

2000 N = 203.942 kg

So 20 N/ mm2 = 203.942 kg / cm2

RATIO IS 1:1.5:3

then volume is 1+1.5+3=5.5 and the total volume
