A spacecraft has landed on a strange flat object and has measured its density (103kg /m3) at several locations (Fig. 16). From photographs during the approach to the object scientists have estimated the thickness of the object to be about 1.4 m thick the area to be about 3500 m2 . Approximate the mass of the object.
