Uncertainty
Nominal Value
The nominal value is the best estimate of the value of a quantity that is measured in an experiment. It is
typically the value seen on agricssurement device. It can also be the result of calculations performed on other
measurements, or the average of multiple measurements. This value can contain any number of significant
figures digits), limited only by the precision the measurement.

Step 1: Establishing the relationship between SI units and other units
Dear student,
Since all questions are different as per our company's guidelines we can author only first one please repost other questions separately in order to get answer.
Thanking you!
SI unit of length is meters. It is denoted by m.
Following are the some relation between SI unit and other units:
1 mm = 0.001 m
1 cm = 0.01 m
1 km = 1000 m
