There are three rules on determining how many significant figures are in a number:
So keeping these rules in mind, there are 4 significant digit

length, l = 4.234 m
breadth,b = 1.005 m
thickness, t = 2.01 cm = 2.01 × 10-2 m Area of the sheet = 2 (l × b + b × t + t × l) = 2 (4.234 × 1.005 + 1.005 × 0.0201 + 0.0201 × 4.234) = 2 (4.3604739) = 8.7209478 m2
As area can contain a maximum of three significant digits, therefore, rounding off, we get Area = 8.72 m2
length, l = 4.234 m
breadth,b = 1.005 m
thickness, t = 2.01 cm = 2.01 × 10-2 m
volume = l × b × t
=> V = 4.234 × 1.005 × 0.0201 = 0.0855289 = 0.0855 m3 (Significant Figures = 3)
A physical quantity P is related to four observables a, b, c and d as follows : The percentage errors of measurement in a, b, c and d are 1, 3, 4 and 2, respectively. What is the percentage error in the quantity P?
Dimension of y = M0 L1 T0
Dimension of a = M0L1T0
Dimension of =
Dimension of L.H.S = Dimension of R.H.S Hence, the given formula is dimensionally correct.
The unit of length convenient on the atomic scale is known as an angstrom and is denoted by m. The size of a hydrogen atom is about . What is the total atomic volume in of a mole of hydrogen atoms ?
Radius of hydrogen atom, r = 0.5 Å = 0.5 × 10-10 m
Volume of hydrogen atom = (4/3) π r3
= (4/3) × (22/7) × (0.5 × 10-10)3
= 0.524 × 10-30 m3
1 mole of hydrogen contains 6.023 × 1023 hydrogen atoms.
∴ Volume of 1 mole of hydrogen atoms = 6.023 × 1023 × 0.524 × 10–30
= 3.16 × 10–7 m3
Radius of hydrogen atom, r = 0.5 = 0.5 × 10–10 m
Volume of hydrogen atom =
=
Now, 1 mole of hydrogen contains 6.023 × 1023 hydrogen atoms.
Volume of 1 mole of hydrogen atoms, Va = 6.023 × 1023 × 0.524 × 10–30
= 3.16 × 10–7 m3
Molar volume of 1 mole of hydrogen atoms at STP,
Vm = 22.4 L = 22.4 × 10–3 m3
=> = 7.08
