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?

(a) If your speedometer has an uncertainty of 2.0 km/h at a speed of 90 km/h, what is the percent uncertainty? (b) If it has the same percent uncertainty when it reads 60 km/h, what is the range of speeds you could be going?
A block of gold has length 5.62 cm. width 6.35 cm, and height 2.78 cm. (a) Calculate the length times the width and round the answer to the appropriate number of significant figures. (b) Now multiply the rounded result of part (a) by the height and again round, obtaining the volume. (c) Repeat the process, first finding the width limes the height, founding it, and then obtaining the volume by multiplying by the length. (d) Explain why the answers dont agree in the third significant figure.
