Explain how can the nanometer length scale affect the system structure and surface area by calculating the variation of the (surface area to volume ratio) for a 5-micometer long fiber (cylindrical shape) if the particle diameter changes gradually from 1 nm to 100 nm (i.e. 1, 10, 20, 30, .. , 100) and plot the variation of surface area to volume ratio versus particle diameter.
