Rules of Significant Figures and Dimensional Analysis For centuries, the people of Paradis Island have been isolated from the rest of the world. The SI units are unknown to them. Expeditions sent to the island revealed tha they created their own system of units, and some of their findings are summarized in Tables 1 and 2. To help the Paradisians advance technologically, people from the outside are planning to construct a power plant on the island. The plant produces an average of 875.9 gigawatts (GW) of power. A. Calculate the average power rating of the plant in Arlert (R). (1 W = 1 kg-m?/s) B. Calculate the energy produced by the plant in 5.400 x 10 s of operation. Express the result in Yeager (Y). (1 J = 1 W-5 = 1 kg-m2/s?) (Note: Power %3D energy/time) C. How many households can be powered by the plant after 5.400 x 10 s of operation if each house consumes 1.50 x 10Y of energy?
