A piece of corroded steel plate was found in a submerged ocean
vessel. It was estimated that the original area of the plate
was 14 in.2 and that
approximately 3.3 kg had corroded away during the
submersion. Assuming a corrosion penetration rate of 200 mpy for
this alloy in seawater, estimate the time of submersion in years.
The density of steel is 7.9 g/cm3.
