The length, breadth, and thickness of a rectangular sheet of metal are 4.234 m, 1.005 m, and 2.01 cm respectively. Give the area and volume of the sheet to correct significant figures.
उत्तर
Length of sheet, l = 4.234 m
Breadth of sheet, b = 1.005 m
Thickness of sheet, h = 2.01 cm = 0.0201 m
The given table lists the respective significant figures:
| Quantity | Number | Significant Figure |
| l | 4.234 | 4 |
| b | 1.005 | 4 |
| h | 0.0201 | 3 |
Hence, area and volume both must have least significant figures, i.e., 3.
Surface area of the sheet = 2 (l × b + b × h + h × l)
= 2 (4.234 × 1.005 + 1.005 × 0.0201 + 0.0201 × 4.234)
= 2 (4.25517 + 0.0202005 + 0.0851034)
= 2 × 4.36
= 8.72 m2
Volume of the sheet = l × b × h
= 4.234 × 1.005 × 0.0201
= 0.085528917 m3
After rounding off = 0.0855 m3
This number has only 3 significant figures, i.e., 8, 5, and 5.

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.
