2. A formula with three variables (a, ß, 8) and two parameters (a and b) can be written: 8 = (a - 2) (1 exp (7)) a In this equation, a has units N/s and ß has units of m, and 8 has units of m. The constant 2 is dimensionless. (a) If the equation is dimensionally consistent, what are the appropriate units of: (i) (ii) a, and b (b) If the numerical values of a and b are 10 and 2 respectively, what is the value of 8 for a = 3.5 N/s and ß = 2.75 m?

A sidewalk is to be constructed around a swimming pool that measures (10.0 0.1) m by (17.0 0.1) m. If the sidewalk is to measure (1.00 0.01) m wide by (9.0 0.1) cm thick, what volume of concrete is needed and what is the approximate uncertainty of this volume?
A surveyor measures the distance across a straight river by the following method (Fig. P1.6). Starting directly across from a tree on the opposite bank, she walks d = 100 m along the riverbank to establish a baseline. Then she sights across to the tree. The angle from her baseline to the tree is 0 = 35.0. How wide is the river? Figure P1.6
