Answer:

K is the spring/elastic constant measured in Newton per metre square (N/m²)

Explanation:

E = ½Ke²

In the equation above,

E is the energy in Joules (J)

K is the elastic/spring constant in Newton per metre square (N/m²)

e is the extension in metre (m)

First,

$\rho=\dfrac mV$

where $\rho$ is density, $m$ is mass, and $V$ is volume. We can compute the volume of the roll:

$2.7\,\dfrac{\mathrm g}{\mathrm{cm}^3}=\dfrac{1275\,\mathrm g}V$

$\implies V\approx472.22\,\mathrm{cm}^3\approx4.72\,\mathrm m^3$

When the roll is unfurled, the aluminum will be a rectangular box (a very thin one), so its volume will be the product of the given area and its thickness $x$ . Note that we're assuming the given area is not the actual total surface area of the aluminum box, but just the area of the largest face (i.e. the area of one side of the unrolled sheet of aluminum).

So we have

$V=Ax$

where $A$ is the given area, so

$4.72\,\mathrm m^3=\left(18.5\,\mathrm m^2\right)x$

$\implies x\approx0.255\,\mathrm m=255\,\mathrm{mm}$

If we're taking significant digits into account, the volume we found would have been $V=470\,\mathrm m^3$ , in turn making the thickness $x=250\,\mathrm{mm}$ .
