Factor-Label Method: Example 2 Section 1.1 8760 hours/year 1 day 24 hours = 8,750 hours Mathematics and Physics Pressure is defined as force divided by area of contact ( P = F / A). What pressure must you apply to your pen in order to create a force of 0.25 N on a piece of paper, if the tip of the pen has a surface area of 3 mm2 touching the paper? Warmup Problem Section 1.1 8760 hours/year Mathematics and Physics Rules for Rounding Off 1. In a series of calculations, carry the extra digits through to the final answer, then round off. Rounding only occurs ONCE in a calculation! 2. If the digit to be removed is: ? 5, the preceding stays the same. example: 1.33 rounds to 1.3 ? 5 or greater, the preceding digit increases by 1. example: 1.36 rounds to 1.4. Example: Round 62.5347 to four significant figures. Look at the fifth figure. It is a 4, a number less than 5. Therefore, simply drop every figure after the fourth, and the number becomes 62.53 Section 1.1 Mathematics and Physics Definition: All the valid digits in a measurement, the number of which indicates the measurement’s precision (degree of exactness). Do not count sig figs for non-measurement quantities such as counting (4 washers) or exact conversion factors (24 hrs. in 1 day). Use the Atlantic Pacific Rule to determine the sig figs. Significant Digits (Significant Figures or Sig Figs) Section 1.1 PACIFIC OCEAN ATLANTIC OCEAN The Atlantic /Pacific Rule for Sig Figs If the… Decimal is Present Count all digits from the Pacific side from the first non-zero digit. Decimal is Absent Count from the Atlantic side from the first non-zero digit. Trailing zeros are indeterminate; they may or may not be significant. Use scientific notation to remove the ambiguity.
