(a) Since 1 km = 1 × 103 m and 1 m = 1 × 106 μm,
(
)(
)
1km = 103 m = 103 m 106 μ m m = 109 μ m.
The given measurement is 1.0 km (two significant figures), which implies our result should be written as 1.0 × 109 μm.
(b) We calculate the number of microns in 1 centimeter. Since 1 cm = 10−2 m,
(
)(
)
1cm = 10−2 m = 10−2 m 106 μ m m = 104 μ m.
We conclude that the fraction of one centimeter equal to 1.0 μm is 1.0 × 10−4.
(c) Since 1 yd = (3 ft)(0.3048 m/ft) = 0.9144 m,
(
)
1.0 yd = ( 0.91m ) 106 μ m m = 9.1 × 105 μ m.
2. (a) Using the conversion factors 1 inch = 2.54 cm exactly and 6 picas = 1 inch, we obtain 1 inch
6 picas
0.80 cm = ( 0.80 cm )
≈ 1.9 picas.
2.54 cm 1 inch
(b) With 12 points = 1 pica, we have
0.80 cm = ( 0.80 cm )
1 inch
2.54 cm
6 picas
1 inch
12 points
≈ 23 points.

3. Using the given conversion factors, we find
(a) the distance d in rods to be d = 4.0 furlongs =
( 4.0 furlongs ) ( 201.168 m furlong )
5.0292 m rod
= 160 rods,
(b) and that distance in chains to be d= ( 4.0 furlongs ) ( 201.168 m furlong )
20.117 m chain
= 40 chains.
4. The conversion factors 1 g ry = 1/10 line , 1 line=1/12 inch and 1 point = 1/72 inch imply that
1 gry = (1/10)(1/12)(72 points) = 0.60 point.
Thus, 1 gry2 = (0.60 point)2 = 0.36 point2, which means that 0.50 gry 2 = 0.18 point 2 .
5. Various geometric formulas are given in Appendix E.
(a) Expressing the radius of the Earth as
R = ( 6.37 × 106 m ) (10−3 km m ) = 6.37 × 103 km, its circumference is s = 2π R = 2π (6.37 × 103 km) = 4.00 ×104 km.
(b) The surface area of Earth is A = 4π R 2 = 4π ( 6.37 × 103 km ) = 5.10 × 108 km 2 .
