Question:

A piece of corroded metal alloy plate was found in a submerged ocean vessel. It was estimated that the original area of the plate was 800 cm2 and that approximately 7.6 kg had corroded away during the submersion. Assuming a corrosion penetration rate of 4 mm/yr for this alloy in seawater, estimate the time of submersion in years. The density of the alloy is 4.5 g/cm3.
