You can get an approximate answer by querying available heap space before & after the memory allocation. Run it a number of times & compute the average, & it will be pretty close to the right answer. But again, the answer is only valid for the specific JVM it's run on.

Impossible to say, since its an implementation detail of the JRE you're using.

ROUGH ESTIMATE: 12 bytes for array header, 4x5 bytes for the pointers (8x5 if you're on a 64 bit jvm), each string has 3 ints (+3x4 bytes), and an array of chars (+12 bytes for header + length of the string x2, because it's char).
