Chapter 1, Problem 48E

Although the preferred SI unit of area is the square meter, land is often measured in the metric system in hectares (ha). One hectare is equal to 10,000 m2. In the English system, land is often measured in acres (1 acre = 160 rod2). Use the exact conversions and those given in Exercise 47 to calculate the following.

  1. a. 1 ha = __________ km2
  2. b. The area of a 5.5-acre plot of land in hectares, square meters, and square kilometers
  3. c. A lot with dimensions 120 ft by 75 ft is to be sold for $6500. What is the price per acre? What is the price per hectare?

Calculate the volume of concrete (in m3) needed to make one post.       b. Calculate the total mass in metric tons (t) of all six concrete posts.       13. Earth’s surface area is 5.1 x 108 km2, its crust has an average thickness of 35 km and an average density of 2.8 g/cm3.

    A garage manager must determine the number of metal ball bearings (BBs) in a stock container by mass measurements. He counts out 5 BBs and finds their total mass to be 1.9 g. He also finds the total mass of the stock container and the BBs to be 239.3 g and the mass of an identical, empty stock container to be 115.8 g. The store manager then uses his data to calculate the number of BBs in the stock container: Average mass of one BB  = 1.9/5 = 0.4 g   Mass of BBs in container = 239.3 g - 115.8 g = 123.50 g Number of BBs in container =  123.50/0.4 g= 300 BBs   (a) Evaluate the manager’s calculations with regard to significant digits. If necessary, rewrite any steps, recalculating with the adjusted quantities. For  any step that you have to rewrite, explain why the manager’s calculation is in error. (b) Should the manager regard the answer to the calculation in (a) as a perfect measure of the number of ball bearings in the container? (c) How could the manager have changed his procedure to…
