What is the mass of balsa wood wing with these dimensions: 27.5 cm x 6 cm x 0.15 cm?
24.75 cm3
10.15 g
0.0010 kg
4.21 g
The mass of the balsa wood wing can be calculated using the formula:
Density = Mass / Volume
First, calculate the volume of the balsa wood wing:
Volume = 27.5 cm x 6 cm x 0.15 cm = 24.75 cm3
The density of balsa wood is typically around 0.41 g/cm3, so we can use this value to calculate the mass:
Density = Mass / Volume
0.41 g/cm3 = Mass / 24.75 cm3
Mass = 0.41 g/cm3 x 24.75 cm3
Mass = 10.1475 g
Therefore, the correct answer is 10.15 g.
