To calculate the packing ratio:
\[ PR = \frac{V_o}{V_c} \]
Where:
The packing ratio is a measure of how efficiently an object occupies space within a container. It is calculated by dividing the volume of the object by the volume of the container. A higher packing ratio indicates that the object occupies a larger proportion of the container’s volume, while a lower packing ratio indicates that the object occupies a smaller proportion of the container’s volume. This concept is commonly used in fields such as logistics, material science, and packaging design to optimize space utilization and improve efficiency.
Let's assume the following values:
Step 1: Divide the volume of the object by the volume of the container:
\[ PR = \frac{30}{100} = 0.30 \]
The packing ratio is 0.30, meaning the object occupies 30% of the container's volume.
