Step by step solution

01

Understanding the unit conversion 

Unit conversion is the conversion between different units of measure for the same quantity, usually through multiplier conversion factors.Here, it is the conversion of length from one unit to another.

Conversion factors are given as follows:

1m=106渭尘1km=103m1cm=104渭尘1yard=3feets1ft=0.3048m

02

(a) Conversion of kilometers into microns 

Using the above conversion factors, convert km to the micron,

1km=103尘脳106m1m=109m

Thus,109m make up 1.0 km.

03

(b) Determination of fraction of centimeter

Using the conversion factor, calculate the fraction of centimeters.

1m=1106m1m=1106m100cm1m1m1cm=10-4Thus,10-4fractionofacentimeteris1.0m.

04

(c) Conversion of yard into microns

Using the conversion factors for yards to feet, feet to meters and meters to micron, convert yards to microns.

1.0yd=3ft0.3048m1ft106m1m=9.144105m

Thus, 1 yd in there are9.144105m .

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.)

Iron has a density of7.87g/cm3, and the mass of an iron atom isrole="math" localid="1654573436593" 9.271026kg. If the atoms are spherical and tightly packed, (a) what is the volume of an iron atom, and (b) what is the distance between the centers of adjacent atoms?

Grains of fine California beach sand are approximately spheres with an average radius of50mand are made of silicon dioxide, which has a density of2600kg/m3.What mass of sand grains would have a total surface area (the total area of all the individual spheres) equal to the surface area of a cube 1.00 m on an edge?

An airport terminal has a moving sidewalk to speed passengers through a long corridor. Larry does not use the moving sidewalk; he takes 150 sto walk through the corridor. Curly, who simply stands on the moving sidewalk, covers the same distance in 70 s. Moe boards the sidewalk and walks along it. How long does Moe take to move through the corridor? Assume that Larry and Moe walk at the same speed.

A ton is a measure of volume frequently used in shipping, but that use requires some care because there are at least three types of tons: A displacement ton is equal to 7 barrels bulk, a freight ton is equal to 8 barrels bulk, and a register ton is equal to 20 barrels bulk. A barrel bulk is another measure of volume: 1barrelbulk=0.1415m3. Suppose you spot a shipping order for 鈥73 tons鈥 ofM&Mcandies, and you are certain that the client who sent the order intended 鈥渢on鈥 to refer to volume (instead of weight or mass, as discussed in Chapter 5). If the client actually meant displacement tons, how many extra U.S. bushels of the candies will you erroneously ship if you interpret the order as (a) 73 freight tons and (b) 73 register tons? (1m3=28.378U.S. bushels.)
