2. The conversion factors are: 1 gry
=1/10 line
, 1 line
=1/12 inch
and 1 point = 1/72
inch. The factors imply that
1 gry = (1/10)(1/12)(72 points) = 0.60 point.
Thus, 1 gry2 = (0.60 point)2 = 0.36 point2, which means that
2

0.50 gry = 0.18 point .
3. The metric prefixes (micro, pico, nano, …) are given for ready reference on the inside

6. We make use of Table 1-6.
(a) We look at the first (“cahiz”) column: 1 fanega is equivalent to what amount of cahiz?
We note from the already completed part of the table that 1 cahiz equals a dozen fanega.
Thus, 1 fanega = 1
12 cahiz, or 8.33 × 10−2 cahiz. Similarly, “1 cahiz = 48 cuartilla” (in the
already completed part) implies that 1 cuartilla = 1
48 cahiz, or 2.08 × 10−2 cahiz.
Continuing in this way, the remaining entries in the first column are 6.94 × 10−3 and
3.47 10−3
×
.
3
(b) In the second (“fanega”) column, we find 0.250, 8.33 × 10−2, and 4.17 × 10−2 for the
last three entries.
(c) In the third (“cuartilla”) column, we obtain 0.333 and 0.167 for the last two entries.
(d) Finally, in the fourth (“almude”) column, we get 1
2 = 0.500 for the last entry.
(e) Since the conversion table indicates that 1 almude is equivalent to 2 medios, our
amount of 7.00 almudes must be equal to 14.0 medios.
(f) Using the value (1 almude = 6.94 × 10−3 cahiz) found in part (a), we conclude that
7.00 almudes is equivalent to 4.86 × 10−2 cahiz.
(g) Since each decimeter is 0.1 meter, then 55.501 cubic decimeters is equal to 0.055501
m3 or 55501 cm3. Thus, 7.00 almudes = 7.00
12 fanega = 7.00
12 (55501 cm3) = 3.24 × 104 cm3.
7. We use the conversion factors found in Appendix D.

11. (a) Presuming that a French decimal day is equivalent to a regular day, then the ratio
of weeks is simply 10/7 or (to 3 significant figures) 1.43.
(b) In a regular day, there are 86400 seconds, but in the French system described in the
problem, there would be 105 seconds. The ratio is therefore 0.864.
12. A day is equivalent to 86400 seconds and a meter is equivalent to a million

15. A week is 7 days, each of which has 24 hours, and an hour is equivalent to 3600
seconds. Thus, two weeks (a fortnight) is 1209600 s. By definition of the micro prefix,
this is roughly 1.21 × 1012 μs.

which should now be rounded to 3.88 × 108 rotations since the time-interval was

(b) We note that the problem specifies the exact number of pulsar revolutions (one
million). In this case, our unknown is t, and an equation similar to the one we set up in
part (a) takes the form N = ft, or

which yields the result t = 1557.80644887275 s (though students who do this calculation

17. None of the clocks advance by exactly 24 h in a 24-h period but this is not the most
important criterion for judging their quality for measuring time intervals. What is
important is that the clock advance by the same amount in each 24-h period. The clock
reading can then easily be adjusted to give the correct interval. If the clock reading jumps
around from one 24-h period to another, it cannot be corrected since it would impossible
to tell what the correction should be. The following gives the corrections (in seconds) that
must be applied to the reading on each clock for each 24-h period. The entries were
determined by subtracting the clock reading at the end of the interval from the clock
reading at the beginning.

Clocks C and D are both good timekeepers in the sense that each is consistent in its daily
drift (relative to WWF time); thus, C and D are easily made “perfect” with simple and
predictable corrections. The correction for clock C is less than the correction for clock D,
so we judge clock C to be the best and clock D to be the next best. The correction that
must be applied to clock A is in the range from 15 s to 17s. For clock B it is the range
from -5 s to +10 s, for clock E it is in the range from -70 s to -2 s. After C and D, A has
the smallest range of correction, B has the next smallest range, and E has the greatest
range. From best to worst, the ranking of the clocks is C, D, A, B, E.

19. When the Sun first disappears while lying down, your line of sight to the top of the
Sun is tangent to the Earth’s surface at point A shown in the figure. As you stand,
elevating your eyes by a height h, the line of sight to the Sun is tangent to the Earth’s
surface at point B.
Let d be the distance from point B to your eyes. From the Pythagorean theorem, we have

stand for the thickness of the mud after it has (uniformly) distributed in the valley, then
its volume there would be (400 m)(400 m)d. Requiring these two volumes to be equal,
we can solve for d. Thus, d = 25 m. The volume of a small part of the mud over a patch
of area of 4.0 m2 is (4.0)d = 100 m3. Since each cubic meter corresponds to a mass of
1900 kg (stated in the problem), then the mass of that small part of the mud is

26. (a) The volume of the cloud is (3000 m)π(1000 m)2 = 9.4 × 109 m3. Since each cubic
meter of the cloud contains from 50 × 106 to 500 × 106 water drops, then we conclude
that the entire cloud contains from 4.7 × 1018 to 4.7 × 1019 drops. Since the volume of
each drop is 4
3 π(10 × 10− 6 m)3 = 4.2 × 10−15 m3, then the total volume of water in a cloud
is from

(c) At 1000 kg for every cubic meter, the mass of water is from

The coincidence in numbers between the results of parts (b) and (c) of this problem is due
to the fact that each liter has a mass of one kilogram when water is at its normal density
(under standard conditions).

The center-to-center distance between atoms is twice the radius, or 2.82 × 10−10 m.
28. If we estimate the “typical” large domestic cat mass as 10 kg, and the “typical” atom
(in the cat) as 10 u ≈ 2 × 10−26 kg, then there are roughly (10 kg)/( 2 × 10−26 kg) ≈ 5 ×
1026 atoms. This is close to being a factor of a thousand greater than Avogadro’s number.
Thus this is roughly a kilomole of atoms.

36. Table 7 can be completed as follows:
(a) It should be clear that the first column (under “wey”) is the reciprocal of the first
row – so that 9
10 = 0.900, 3
40 = 7.50 × 10−2, and so forth. Thus, 1 pottle = 1.56 × 10−3 wey
and 1 gill = 8.32 × 10−6 wey are the last two entries in the first column.
(b) In the second column (under “chaldron”), clearly we have 1 chaldron = 1 chaldron
(that is, the entries along the “diagonal” in the table must be 1’s). To find out how many
chaldron are equal to one bag, we note that 1 wey = 10/9 chaldron = 40/3 bag so that 1
12
chaldron = 1 bag. Thus, the next entry in that second column is 1
12 = 8.33 × 10−2.
Similarly, 1 pottle = 1.74 × 10−3 chaldron and 1 gill = 9.24 × 10−6 chaldron.
(c) In the third column (under “bag”), we have 1 chaldron = 12.0 bag, 1 bag = 1 bag, 1
pottle = 2.08 × 10−2 bag, and 1 gill = 1.11 × 10−4 bag.
(d) In the fourth column (under “pottle”), we find 1 chaldron = 576 pottle, 1 bag = 48
pottle, 1 pottle = 1 pottle, and 1 gill = 5.32 × 10−3 pottle.
(e) In the last column (under “gill”), we obtain 1 chaldron = 1.08 × 105 gill, 1 bag = 9.02
× 103 gill, 1 pottle = 188 gill, and, of course, 1 gill = 1 gill.
(f) Using the information from part (c), 1.5 chaldron = (1.5)(12.0) = 18.0 bag. And since
each bag is 0.1091 m3 we conclude 1.5 chaldron = (18.0)(0.1091) = 1.96 m3.
37. The volume of one unit is 1 cm3 = 1 × 10−6 m3, so the volume of a mole of them is
6.02 × 1023 cm3 = 6.02 × 1017 m3. The cube root of this number gives the edge length:

39. This problem compares the U.K gallon with U.S. gallon, two non-SI units for volume.
The interpretation of the type of gallons, whether U.K. or U.S., affects the amount of
gasoline one calculates for traveling a given distance.
If the fuel consumption rate is R (in miles/gallon), then the amount of gasoline (in
gallons) needed for a trip of distance d (in miles) would be
(miles)
(gallon)
(miles/gallon)
d
V
= R
Since the car was manufactured in the U.K., the fuel consumption rate is calibrated based
on U.K. gallon, and the correct interpretation should be “40 miles per U.K. gallon.” In
U.K., one would think of gallon as U.K. gallon; however, in the U.S., the word “gallon”
would
naturally
be
interpreted
as
U.S.
gallon.
Note
also
that
since

kilograms. Since this problem deals with the ratio of total mass (1.0 kg) divided by the
mass of one atom (1.0 u, but converted to kilograms), then the computation reduces to
simply taking the reciprocal of the number given in Eq. 1-9 and rounding off
appropriately. Thus, the answer is 6.0 × 1026.

(d) If we multiply this by the result of part (b), we determine the volume in cubic meters:
(155.5)(7.65) = 1.19 × 103 m3.
50. According to Appendix D, a nautical mile is 1.852 km, so 24.5 nautical miles would
be 45.374 km. Also, according to Appendix D, a mile is 1.609 km, so 24.5 miles is
39.4205 km. The difference is 5.95 km.

(b) Similarly, with 0.43 m → 430 mm and 0.53 m → 530 mm, we find 3.9 × 103 mm and
4.8 × 103 mm, respectively.
