With a wooden ruler, you measure the length of a rectangular piece of sheet metal to be 16 mm. With micrometer calipers, you measure the width of the rectangle to be 8.98 mm. Use the correct number of significant figures: What is (a) the area of the rectangle; (b) the ratio of the rectangle's width to its length; (c) the perimeter of the rectangle; (d) the difference between the length and the width; and (e) the ratio of the length to the width?

Verify the normalization equation 0f(v)dv=1 In doing the integral, first make substitution u=m2kBTv=vvp. This "scaling" transformation gives you all features of the answer except for the integral, which is a dimensionless numerical factor. You'll need the formula 0x2e x 2dx= 4 to find the numerical factor and verify the normalization.`
A farmer wants to fence off his four-sided plot of flat land. He measures the first three sides, shown as A, B, and C in Figure 3.62, and then correctly calculates the length and orientation of the fourth side D. What is his result?
A circular hole of radius 8.467 10-1 cm must be cut into the front panel of a display unit. The tolerance is 2.0 10-3 cm, which means the hole cannot differ by more than this quantity from the desired radius. If the actual hole is larger than the desired radius by the allowed tolerance, what is the difference between the actual area and the desired area of the hole?

How do you find the area of this? I had to do an experiment where you take a styrofoam cup and poke a flashlight through the bottom of it, then shine the light onto a wall from different distances and measure the diameter. I have to calculate the area. It it just pi*r^2? That's what I did, but then I've seen someone else use 4*pi*r^2 and that confused me. I want to make sure I done it right.

A two-legged robot is programmed so that upon switching it on, it will do a repetitive pair of steps: one step towards east and then one step towards north, with each step corresponding to equal lengths. If after making 1000 pairs of steps, the robot can be found at 956.8m , 45°NE what is the length of each step?
