- 1.64 Wire is often sold in pound spools according to the wire gauge number. That number refers to the diameter of the wire. How many meters are in a 10-lb. spool of 12-gauge aluminium wire? A 12-gauge wire has a diameter of 0.0808 in. and aluminium has a density of 2.70g/cm3 , (V=r2l)arrow_forwardConsider multiplying “26.2” by “16.43.” What would a mathematician say the answer is? What would a scientist say? Justify the scientist’s answer, not merely citing the rule, hut explaining it.arrow_forwardWhen a large or small number is written in standard scientific notation, the number is expressed as the product of a number between 1 and 10, multiplied by the appropriate power of 10. For each of the following numbers, indicate what power of 10 would be appropriate when expressing the numbers in standard scientific notation. a. 84,961,306 b. 0.4870 c. 0.000033812 d. 3,890,406,000,000arrow_forward
- 1.30 The largest computers now include disk storage space measured in petabytes. How many bytes are in a petabyte? (Recall that in computer terminology, the prefix is only “close” to the value it designates in the metric system.)arrow_forwardIn lab you report a measured volume of 128.7 mL of water. Using significant figures as a measure of the error, what range of answers does your reported volume imply? Explain.arrow_forwardFor a material to float on the surface of water, the material must have a density less than that of water (1.0 g/mL) and must not react with the water or dissolve in it. A spherical ball has a radius of 0.50 cm and weighs 2.0 g. Will (his ball float or sink when placed in water? (Note: Volume of a sphere=43r3 .)arrow_forward
