Question

The EF 158 class decides to conduct an experiment in which they build a boat out of aluminum foil and see how many students can fit into the boat along side their 3.33 slug professor before it sinks into the Tennessee River. They use 56 rolls of aluminum foil (2.4 lb/roll) to build a box shaped boat with dimensions of 5.3 x 8.6 x 4.0 ft. If the prof plus 34 students cause the boat to just start to sink, what is the average mass of an EF 158 student?
