Length, breadth and thickness of a strip having a uniform cross section are measured to be 10.5 cm , 0.05 mm , and \(6.0 \mu \mathrm{~m}\), respectively. Which of the following option(s) give(s) the volume of the strip in \(\mathrm{cm}^3\) with correct significant figures:

  1. A \(3.2 \times 10^{-5}\)
  2. B \(32.0 \times 10^{-6}\)
  3. C \(3.0 \times 10^{-5}\)
  4. D \(3 \times 10^{-5}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(3 \times 10^{-5}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\mathrm{L}=10.5 \mathrm{~cm} \rightarrow 3\) significant digits
\(\mathrm{b}=0.05 \mathrm{~cm} \rightarrow 1\) significant digit
\(\mathrm{t}=6.0 \mu \mathrm{~m} \rightarrow 2\) significant digits
Volume, \(\mathrm{V}=\) Lbt must have only 1 significant digit
\(\begin{aligned}
& \Rightarrow \mathrm{V}=10.5 \times 0.05 \times 10^{-1} \times 6.0 \times 10^{-4} \mathrm{~cm}^3 \\
& =3 \times 10^{-5} \mathrm{cc}
\end{aligned}\)
