Question: A gry is an old English measure for length, defined as 1/10 of a line, where line is another old English measure for length, defined as 1/12 inch. A common measure for length in the publishing business is a point, defined as 1/72 inch. What is an area of 0.50gry2in points squared (points2)

Short Answer

Expert verified

Answer

The area of 0.50gry2 in is 0.18 points2.

Step by step solution

01

Given data

The conversion factors given here are listed below:

1gry=110line1line=112inch1point=172inch1inch=72points

02

Understanding the conversion factors

Every measurement can be attributed to different units. Such units may be converted between them using a conversion factor.

Calculate the conversion factor for gry to points using the given information in step 1.

Therefore,

1gry2=110濒颈苍别脳11line脳112颈苍肠丑脳11inch颈脳72辫辞颈苍迟蝉...(i)=0.36points2Thus,1gry2isequivalentto0.36points2.

03

Determination of the area in points2.

Use the conversion factor in equation (i) to convert the area from gry2 to point2.

0.50gry2=0.50gry2脳0.36points21gry2=0.18points2

Thus, 0.50 gry2 is equivalent to 0.18points2.

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. Table 1-6 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). To complete the table, what numbers (to three significant figures) should be entered in (a) the cahiz column, (b) the fanega column, (c) the cuartilla column, and (d) the almude column, starting with the top blank? Express 7.00 almudes in (e) medios, (f) cahizes, and (g) cubic centimeters (cm3)

Two waves,

y1=(2.50mm)sin[(25.1rad/m)x-(440rad/s)t]andy2=(1.50mm)sin[(25.1rad/m)x+(440rad/s)t]

travel along a stretched string. (a) Plot the resultant wave as a function of tfor,x=0,位/8,位/4,3位/8and位/2where位is the wavelength. The graphs should extend from t = 0to a little over one period. (b) The resultant wave is the superposition of a standing wave and a traveling wave. In which direction does the traveling wave move? (c) How can you change the original waves so the resultant wave is the superposition of standing and traveling waves with the same amplitudes as before but with the traveling wave moving in the opposite direction? Next, use your graphs to find the place at which the oscillation amplitude is (d) maximum and (e) minimum. (f) How is the maximum amplitude related to the amplitudes of the original two waves? (g) How is the minimum amplitude related to the amplitudes of the original two waves?

A typical sugar cube has an edge length of 1 cm. If you had a cubical box that contained a mole of sugar cubes, what would its edge length be? (Onemole=6.02脳1023units.)

In purchasing food for a political rally, you erroneously order shucked medium-size Pacific oysters (which come 8 to 12 per U.S. pint) instead of shucked medium-size Atlantic oysters (which come 26 to 38 per U.S. pint). The filled oyster container shipped to you has the interior measure of1.0m脳12cm脳20cm,and a U.S. pint is equivalent to 0.4732 liter . By how many oysters is the order short of your anticipated count?

On a spending spree in Malaysia, you buy an ox with a weight of 28.9 piculs in the local unit of weights: 1 picul =100 gins, 1 gin =16 tahils, 1 tahil =10 chees, and 1 chee =10 hoons. The weight of 1 hoon corresponds to a mass of 0.3779 g. When you arrange to ship the ox home to your astonished family, how much mass in kilograms must you declare on the shipping manifest? (Hint: Set up multiple chain-link conversions.)
