- How many significant figures are in each measurement? (a) 3.1416 degrees (b) 0.00314 K (c) 1.0079 s (d) 6.022 1023 particlesarrow_forwardWhat is the difference in surface area between two circles, one of radius 7.98 cm, the other of radius 8.50 cm? The surface area of a circle of radius r is r2. Obtain the result to the correct number of significant figures.arrow_forwardWithout actually performing the calculations indicated,tell to how many significant digits the answer to the calculation should be expressed. (0.1 96)(0.08215)(295)/(1.1) (4.2 15 + 3.991 + 2.442)/(0.22) (7.881)(4.224) (0.00033)/(2.997) (6.2 19 + 2.03)/(3.1159)arrow_forward
- Two students were assigned to determine the mass of a sample of an unknown liquid. Student A used an ordinary laboratory balance that could determine mass to ±0.01 g. Student B used an analytical balance that could measure mass to ±0.1 mg. Each made four measurements, giving the following results: Student A: 8.19 g, 8.22 g, 8.21 g, 8.25 g Student B: 8.2210 g, 8.2210 g, 8.2209 g, 8.2210 g 2. Which student is more precise? A Barrow_forwardFor these questions, be sure to apply the rules for significant figures. a You are conducting an experiment where you need the volume of a box; you take the length, height, and width measurements and then multiply the values together to find the volume. You report the volume of the box as 0.310 m1. If two of your measurements were 0.7120 m and 0.52145 m, what was the other measurement? b If you were to add the two measurements from the first part of the problem to a third length measurement with the reported result of 1.509 m, what was the value of the third measurement?arrow_forward56.

- I don't understand the wording. The least significant digit means the last digit? 7.700 X 2.1 = 16.17 would the uncertainty be 0.01 ? 2.132 + 17 + 4.04 = 23.172 would the uncertainty be 0.001 ?arrow_forwardI.
