(a)
Interpretation: The metric prefix that corresponds to
Concept Introduction: A metric prefix is a suffix of a unit that introduces a simple unit of measure to denote a unit multiple or submultiple. Each prefix has a unique symbol, prepended on any symbol of the unit. Since the size of the fundamental units is not always convenient, thus, the SI system uses prefixes to change the size of the unit.
(a)
Answer to Problem 10A
The metric prefix that corresponds
Explanation of Solution
The given number is
The power of 10, in this case, is 6. Hence, the metric prefix corresponds to
