उत्तर
If the density of a solution is 3.12 g mL–1, the mass of 1.5 mL solution in significant figures is 4.7 g.
Explanation:
Density of a solution = `"Mass of solution"/"Volume of solution"`
3.12 g mL–1 = `x/(1.5 mL)`
∴ `x = 3.12 xx 1.5`
`x` = 4.68 g
The number of significant figures in the product of a multiplication or division should equal the number of figures in the calculation's least precise phrase. This term's degree of precision is 1.5.
As a result, the needed response should include two significant figures.
4.68 g, for example, should be rounded up to 4.7 g.

Precise measurements of physical quantities are a need of science. For example, to ascertain the speed of an aircraft, one must have an accurate method to find its positions at closely separated instants of time. This was the actual motivation behind the discovery of radar in World War II. Think of different examples in modern science where precise measurements of length, time, mass etc. are needed. Also, wherever you can, give a quantitative idea of the precision needed.
A LASER is a source of very intense, monochromatic, and unidirectional beam of light. These properties of a laser light can be exploited to measure long distances.
