Solution 1
The relative density of lead is 11.3. Its density is 11.3 g cm–3or 11.3 × 10-3 kg m–3.
Explanation:
Relative density of a lead is given by the relation,
`"Relative density" = "Density of lead"/"Density of water"`
Density of water = 1 g/cm3
Density of lead = Relative density of lead x Density of water
= 11.3 × 1
= 11.3 g/`"cm"^-3`
Again 1g = `1/1000` kg
`1 cm^3 = 10^(-6)"m"^3`
`1 "g/cm"^3 = 10^(-3)/10^(-6) "kg"/"m"^3 = 10^-3 "kg/m"^-3`
`:. 11.3 "g/cm"^-3 = 11.3 xx 10^-3 "kg/m"^-3`
Solution 2
Density = 11.3 g/cm3
=11.3 × 103 kg m-3 [1 kg =103 g, 1 m = 102 cm]
=11.3 × 103 kg m-3

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.
