Chapter 5, Problem 6ICA
In each of the following cases, either display a value to the requested number of significant figures or display a calculated value to the appropriate number of significant figures.
- a. 12.001 feet + 2.08 feet+ 108.234 feet
- b. A piece of stone has a mass of 13.782 grams and a volume of 4.64 cubic centimeters. What is the density of the stone in units of grams per cubic centimeter? Density is determined by mass divided by volume.
- c. How many significant figures are there in the value 0.00470 centimeters?
- d. The mass of a rock sample is measured four times, yielding values of 24.996 grams, 25.008 grams, 25.011 grams, and 25.005 grams. What is the average mass of the sample in units of grams? The average value is determined by taking the sum of all samples and dividing by the total number of samples.

- We have obtained a contract to construct metal boxes (square bottom, rectangular sides, no top)for storing sand. Each box is to contain a specified volume, and all edges are to be welded. Eachbox will require the following information: A volume (V, in units of cubic inches), the length ofone side of the bottom (L, in units of inches), the box height (H, in units of inches), and thematerial cost (M, in units of dollars per square inch). To determine the total cost to manufacture abox, we must include not only the cost of the material, but also the cost of welding all the edges.Welding costs depend on the number of linear inches that are welded (W, in units of dollars perinch).
