उत्तर
Volume of sphere =`4/3 pi"r"^3`
`= 4/3 xx 3.142 xx (2.14/2)^3` ...`(because "r" = "d"/2)`
`= 4/3 xx 3.142 xx (1.07)^3`
= 1.333 × 3.142 × (1.07)3
= {antilog [log (1.333) + log(3.142) + 3 log(1.07)]}
= {antilog [0.1249 + 0.4972 + 3 (0.0294)]}
= {antilog [0.1249 + 0.4972 + 3 (0.0294)]}
= {antilog [0.6221 + 0.0882]}
= {antilog [0.7103]}
= 5.133cm3
In multiplication or division, the final result should retain as many significant figures as there are in the original number with the least significant figures.
∴ Volume in correct significant figures = 5.13 cm3

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. The distance of the Moon from the Earth has been already determined very precisely using a laser as a source of light. A laser light beamed at the Moon takes 2.56 s to return after reflection at the Moon’s surface. How much is the radius of the lunar orbit around the Earth?
