Chapter 1.6, Problem 1.6.4SR

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The number of cubic centimetres in a cubic meter has to be determined.

Concept introduction:

We can utilize conversion factors to do unit conversions.

For example:

$\begin{array}{l}\text{1}\text{cm}\text{=}\text{1×}{\text{10}}^{\text{-2}}\text{m}\\ \text{1}\text{L}\text{=}\text{1000}{\text{cm}}^{\text{3}}\end{array}$

$\begin{array}{l}\text{1}\text{×}{\text{10}}^{\text{-6}}{\text{m}}^{\text{3}}\text{=}\text{1}{\text{cm}}^{\text{3}}\\ \text{1000}\text{g}\text{=}\text{1}\text{kg}\end{array}$
