26. When non-metric units were used in the United Kingdom,
a unit of mass called the pound-mass (lbm) was employed,
where 1 lbm = 0.4539 kg. (a) If there is an uncertainty of
0.0001 kg in the pound-mass unit, what is its percent
uncertainty? (b) Based on that percent uncertainty, what
mass in pound-mass has an uncertainty of 1 kg when
converted to kilograms?
