What is the mass of balsa wood wing with these dimensions: 27.5 cm x 6 cm x 0.15 cm?

Question

24.75 cm3
10.15 g
0.0010 kg
4.21 g

Answer 1

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.
