Question: A Christmas package needs to be wrapped...

An oddly shaped Christmas package is a collection of centrally stacked cube-shaped boxes with ever smaller sides. From bottom to top, the edge lengths of the stacked cubes run like the sequence of the reciprocals of the sequence of the square roots of the natural numbers. How high is the package? How much paper is needed to wrap the package? What is the total volume enclosed by all the packages?
