A group of mechanical engineers like catamaran sailing on the Great Salt Lake and decide to use a glass-fiber reinforced composite with a high fiber fraction for a new boat design. The composite is 60 volume % SiO₂ glass fibers and the remainder is an epoxy with a density of 1.2 g/cm3.

a) Determine the molar ratio of SiO₂ to epoxy in the boat?

b) What will be the approximate density of the boat hull?

c) What is the weight fraction of epoxy in the fiberglass?
