Question
Chapter 1, Problem 48P
Interpretation Introduction
(a)
Interpretation:
The given diameter 
is to be converted to meters and reported in scientific notation.
Concept introduction:
The scientific notation is the standard method of representation of a long or tedious measurement. The number is expressed as number times ten raised to some power.
For instance mass of a proton is conveniently expressed as 
The decimal is shifted to right when the power is positive while it is negative if the decimal has been shifted to left.
While a number is written in scientific notations it is scaled down to some digit between 1 to10 ten and the places that previously contain zeroes are changed to ten raised to some power.
For example, 0.00056 is written as 
The conversion factor to convert the 
to
is as follows:
