To Round off:

The number 58342 m to three significant figures.

Answer to Problem 1P

The round off for number 58342 m to three significant figure is 58.3km_.

Explanation of Solution

Given:

The given value is 58342m.

Explanation:

A significant figure is defined as a method that is used to indicate an uncertainty in experimental or calculated values. Significant figures are the vital digits that are identified with certainty. Certainty is indicated first in a number followed by uncertainty.

For example: If a result is 12.3 m, 12 is certain and 3 is uncertain.

Round off the number to three significant figures.

58342m

Write the three significant figures formula.

m=103km

Conclusion:

Round off the number 58342 m to three significant figures.

58342m=58342m×103kmm=58.3km

Thus, the round off for number 58342 m to three significant figures is 58.3km_.

To Round off:

The number 68.534 s to three significant figures.

Answer to Problem 1P

The round off for number 68.534 s to three significant figure is 68.5s_.

Explanation of Solution

Given:

The given value is 68.534s.

Explanation:

A significant figure is defined as a method that is used to indicate an uncertainty in experimental or calculated values. Significant figures are the vital digits that are identified with certainty. Certainty is indicated first in a number followed by uncertainty.

For example: If a result is 12.3 m, 12 is certain and 3 is uncertain.

Round off the number to three significant figures.

68.534s

Conclusion:

Round off the number 68.534 s to three significant figures.

68.534s=68.5s

Thus, the round off for number 68.534 s to three significant figures is 68.5s_.

To Round off:

The number 2553 N to three significant figures.

Answer to Problem 1P

The round off for number 2553 N to three significant figure is 2.55kN_.

Explanation of Solution

Given:

The given value is 2553N

Explanation:

A significant figure is defined as a method that is used to indicate an uncertainty in experimental or calculated values. Significant figures are the vital digits that are identified with certainty. Certainty is indicated first in a number followed by uncertainty.

For example: If a result is 12.3 m, 12 is certain and 3 is uncertain.

Round off the number to three significant figures.

2553N

Write the three significant figures formula.

N=103kN

Conclusion:

Round off the number 2553 N to three significant figures.

2553N=2553N×103kNN=2.55kN

Thus, the round off for number 2553 N to three significant figures is 2.55kN_.

To determine

To Round off:

The number 7555 kg to three significant figures.

Answer to Problem 1P

The round off for number 7555 kg to three significant figure is 7.56Mg_.

Explanation of Solution

Given:

The given value is 7555 kg

Explanation:

A significant figure is defined as a method that is used to indicate an uncertainty in experimental or calculated values. Significant figures are the vital digits that are identified with certainty. Certainty is indicated first in a number followed by uncertainty.

For example: If a result is 12.3 m, 12 is certain and 3 is uncertain.

Round off the number to three significant figures.

7555kg

Write the three significant figures formula.

kg=103Mg

Conclusion:

Round off the number 7555 kg to three significant figures.

7555kg=7555kg×103Mgkg=7.56Mg

Thus, the round off for number 7555 kg to three significant figures is 7.56Mg_.
