Consider a tilted surface with an angle of 30 degrees. Oil (µ = 0.025 Pa.s) covers the inclined surface, and when a cubic object with a height of 0.1 m is placed on the tilted surface, a liquid film of 0.5 mm occurs. Suppose that the object slides down the surface with a constant velocity of 0.2 m/s. Determine the mass (in gram) and density of the object (in kg/m3).
