Answer to Problem 77A

0.046 Gs is equal to $\text{4}\text{.6}\times {\text{10}}^7\text{sec}$

Explanation of Solution

Given:

Time is 0.046 Gs

Formula used:

It is known that 1 Gs is equal to ${10}^9\text{sec}$

Calculation:

Convert the given time in seconds as,

  $\begin{array}{c}\text{0}\text{.046 Gs}=\text{0}\text{.046}\times {10}^9\text{sec}\\ =\text{4}\text{.6}\times {\text{10}}^7\text{sec}\end{array}$

d.

To determine

Equivalent time measurement in seconds.

Answer to Problem 77A

12.3 ks is equal to $\text{1}\text{.23}\times {\text{10}}^4\text{sec}$

Explanation of Solution

Given:

Time is 12.3 ks

Formula used:

It is known that 1 ks is equal to ${10}^3\text{sec}$

Calculation:

Convert the given time in seconds as,

  $\begin{array}{c}\text{12}\text{.3 ks =12}\text{.3}\times {10}^3\text{sec}\\ \text{=1}\text{.23}\times {\text{10}}^4\text{sec}\end{array}$
