Correct Answer

C

Explanation

But mass, M = volume x density
and volume = cross sectional area x thickness
M = 118.8cm^2 x 10^-6 x 9 x 10^3
∴ 118.8cm^2 x 10^-6 x 9 x 10^3 = 10 x t x 3.3 x 10^-7
∴ (118.8 x 9) x 10^-7 = 10 x t x 3.3 x 10^-7

∴ t = 118.8×9/3.3
t = 324 seconds
Convert to minutes by dividing by 60
t = 324/60

t = 5.4 sec
