I'm not quite sure where to start with this.
Thank you in advance
You must have some idea as to where to start. We can't help you unless you at least attempt the problem first.![]()

Looks okay, too many significant digits though.(a) Area of slick = [itex]\pi[/itex]r2
diameter of slick [you mean thickness of slick] = 2x1010
volume of slick= area x thickness
volume of oil=volume of slick= 1L = 0.001m3
0.001m3=([itex]\pi[/itex]r2
r=1261.57m
d=2523m
V=[itex](4/3)\pi[/itex]r3(b) [itex]\rho[/itex]=M/V
V=[itex]\pi[/itex]r3
=[itex]\pi[/itex](1x10-10)3
V=3.14x10-30m3
M=850kg/m3 x 3.14x10-30m3
M=2.67x10-27kg
does that make sense?
