1. Various geometric formulas are given in Appendix E.

(a) Expressing the radius of the Earth as

R = ( 6.37 × 106 m )(10−3 km m ) = 6.37 × 103 km,

its circumference is s = 2π R = 2π (6.37 × 103 km) = 4.00 × 104 km.

(b) The surface area of Earth is A = 4π R 2 = 4π ( 6.37 × 103 km ) = 5.10 × 108 km 2 .

(c) The volume of Earth is V = R = 6.37 × 103 km = 1.08 × 1012 km3 .

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 0.50 gry 2 = 0.18 point 2 .

3. The metric prefixes (micro, pico, nano, …) are given for ready reference on the inside
front cover of the textbook (see also Table 1–2).

(a) Since 1 km = 1 × 103 m and 1 m = 1 × 106 μm,

( )( )
1km = 103 m = 103 m 106 μ m m = 109 μ m.

The given measurement is 1.0 km (two significant figures), which implies our result
should be written as 1.0 × 109 μm.

(b) We calculate the number of microns in 1 centimeter. Since 1 cm = 10−2 m,

( )( )
1cm = 10−2 m = 10−2 m 106 μ m m = 104 μ m.

We conclude that the fraction of one centimeter equal to 1.0 μm is 1.0 × 10−4.

(c) Since 1 yd = (3 ft)(0.3048 m/ft) = 0.9144 m,
