Answer:

M/A = 0.425 g/cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following data;

Mass = 192 grams

Dimensions = 7 * 10 inches.

To find the mass per unit area;

First of all, we would determine the area of the lead sheet;

Area = 7 * 10

Area = 70 in²

Conversion:

1 square inch = 6.452 square centimeters

70 inches = 70 * 6.452 = 451.64 square centimeters

Next, we find the mass per unit area;

M/A = 192/451.64

M/A = 0.425 g/cm²
