Chapter 1, Problem 6P

The micrometer (1 µm) is often called the micron. (a) How many microns make up 5.5 km? (b) How many centimeters equal 5.5 µm? (c) How many microns are in 5.5 yd? (a) Number i Units (b) Number i Units (c) (c) Number i Units

You can easily convert common units and measures electronically, but you still should be able to use a conversion table, such as those in Appendix D. The Table below is part of a conversion table for a system of volume measures once common in Spain; a volume of 1 fanega is equivalent to 55.501 dm³ (cubic decimeters). 1 cahiz = 1 fanega = 1 cuartilla = 1 almude = 1 medio = cahiz Numbor 1 ? fanega 12 1 2.08 × 10-2 6.94 x 10-3 8.33 × 10-² 3.47 x 10-3 4.17 x 10-2 ? cuartilla almude medio 48 4 1 ? 0.167 144 288 12 3 1 ? Unite 24 6 2 To complete the table, what numbers should be entered in (a) the cahiz column, (b) the fanega column, (c) the cuartilla column, and (d) the almude column? Express 13 almudes in (e) medios, (f) cahizes, and (g) cubic centimeters (cm³). And 1 cabizlerl

The consumption of natural gas by a company satisfies the empirical equation V = 1.5t + 0.0081? where V is the volume in millions of cubic feet and t the time in months. What are the dimensions of the constants a) 1.5 and b) 0.008? 2.
