Consider two concentric spheres whose radii differ by t = 1 nm, the "thickness" of the interface. at what radius (in nm) of sphere does the volume of a shell equal that of the interior sphere? assume the shell thickness to be t = 1 nm.
consider two concentric spheres whose radii differ by t = 1 nm, the "thickness" of the interface. on log-log axes, plot the ratio of the shell volume to the interior sphere volume for an interior sphere radius of 10 microns to 1 nm. assume the shell thickness to be t = 1 nm.

3.85 nm

Explanation:

The volume of a sphere is:

V = 4/3 * π * r^3

The volume of a shell is the volume of the big sphere minus the volume of the small sphere

Vs = 4/3 * π * r2^3 - 4/3 * π * r1^3

Vs = 4/3 * π * (r2^3 - r1^3)

If the difference between the radii is 1 nm

r2 = r1 + 1 nm

Vs = 4/3 * π * ((r1 + 1)^3 - r1^3)

Vs = 4/3 * π * ((r1 + 1)^3 - r1^3)

Vs = 4/3 * π * (r1^3 + 3*r1^2 + 3*r1 + 1 - r1^3)

Vs = 4/3 * π * (3*r1^2 + 3*r1 + 1)

The volme of the shell is equall to the volume of the inner shell:

4/3 * π * (r1^3) = 4/3 * π * (3*r1^2 + 3*r1 + 1)

r1^3 = 3*r1^2 + 3*r1 + 1

0 = -r1^3 + 3*r1^2 + 3*r1 + 1

Solving this equation electronically:

r1 = 3.85 nm

colorectal cancer may also develop from areas of abnormal cells in the lining of the colon or rectum. this area of abnormal cells is called dysplasia and is more commonly seen in people with certain inflammatory diseases of the bowel such as crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis.
