A cubic box is completely filled with 1,000.0 kg of water. What is the length of one side of the box, in meters? Explain your reasoning. Since the density of water is g/cm', then the volume of 1,000,000 g (1,000.0 kg) of water is cm³. A cubic box with a volume of cmº is cm on each side. Converting cm to meters, the cube is m on each edge.

A gasoline station in Manila, Philippines, charges 38.46 pesos per liter of unleaded gasoline at a time when one US. dollar (USD) buys 47.15 pesos (PHP). The car you are driving has a gas tank with a capacity of 14 U.S. gallons and gets 24 miles per gallon. (a) What is the cost of unleaded gasoline in Manila in USD per gallon? (b) How much would a tankful of unleaded gasoline for your car cost in USD? (c) Suppose that you have only PHP 1255 (a day's wage for an elementary school teacher) and the car's tank is almost empty. How many miles can you expect to drive if you spend all your money on gasoline?
The beakers shown below have different precisions. a. Label the amount of water in each of the three beakers to the correct number of significant figures. b. Is it possible for each of the three beakers to contain the exact same amount of water? If no, why not? If yes, did you report the volumes as the same in part a? Explain. c. Suppose you pour the water from these three beakers into one container. What should be the volume in the container reported to the correct number of significant figures?
1.88 Legend has it that Archimedes, a famous scientist of Ancient Greece, was once commanded by the king to determine if a crown he received was pure gold or a gold—silver alloy. He was not allowed, however, to damage the crown (by slicing off a piece, for example). If you were assigned this same task, what would you need to know about both gold and silver, and how would you make a measurement that would tell you if the crown was pure gold?
