- A standard unit must have what characteristics?arrow_forwardA 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?arrow_forwardIn a football game, you often hear the expression first and 10 (yards). How would you express this measurement in meters to a friend from Europe?arrow_forward
- How is the decimal base 10 of the metric system an advantage over the base 12 of the British system?arrow_forwardWhen 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?arrow_forwardThe following lengths are given in meters. Use metric prefixes to rewrite them so the numerical value is bigger than one but less than 1000. For example, 7.9102m could be written either as 7.9cm or 79mm . (a) 7.9107m : (b) 0.0074m ; (c) 8.81011m : (d) 1.631013m .arrow_forward
