This quantity ρ is known as the density<span> , which is usually defined as the mass per unit volume: ρ = m/V. The volume units milliliter (mL) and cubic centimeter (cm</span>3<span>) are almost identical and are commonly used interchangeably. The general meaning of </span>density<span> is the amount of anything per unit volume.</span>
Before a cell could undergo to the process of mitosis, the cell will have to undergo first to the stage of interphase. Where it will need to pass though three stages where it will prepare before it could undergo to cell division. The cell will most likely pass to G1, S and G2 phase for it to be checked and prepared before it passes through the mitosis.
Number of barrels are 3.0. Each barrel contains 42 gallons of oil. Thus, total volume of oil will be 42×3=126 gallons.
Converting gallons into m^{3}
1 gallon=0.00378 m^{3}
Thus, 126 gallons=0.4769 m^{3}
Thickness of oil film is 2.5\times 10^{2} nm, converting it into meters as follows:
1 nm=10^{-9} m
Thus,
2.5\times 10^{2} nm=1.5\times 10^{-7}m
Now, volume V of oil is related to area A and thickness T as follows:
V=A×T
rearranging,
A=\frac{V}{T}=\frac{0.4769 m^{3}}{2\times 10^{-7}m}=2.38\times 10^{6}m^{2}
Thus, square meters of oil will be 2.38\times 10^{6}m^{2}
