State the number of significant figures in the following:
0.0006032 m2

उत्तर
0.0006032 m2 has four significant figures.
Explanation:
In numbers less than one, any zeros between the decimal point and the first non-zero digit are not considered significant; they merely set the decimal place. Therefore, the initial three zeros are not significant. However, the digits 6, 0, 3, and 2 are all significant, including the zero, because it lies between two non-zero digits, indicating precision in the measurement.

A man walking briskly in rain with speed v must slant his umbrella forward making an angle θ with the vertical. A student derives the following relation between θ and v: tan θ = v and checks that the relation has a correct limit: as v →0, θ → 0, as expected. (We are assuming there is no strong wind and that the rain falls vertically for a stationary man). Do you think this relation can be correct? If not, guess the correct relation.
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?
A SONAR (sound navigation and ranging) uses ultrasonic waves to detect and locate objects under water.

What is the distance of the enemy submarine? (Speed of sound in water = 1450 m s–1).
