Chapter 1

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 2R 2(6.37 103 km) 4.00 104 km.

(b) The surface area of Earth is A 4R2 46.37 103 km 5.10 108 km2 .

4 4
6.37 10 km 1.08 1012 km3.

(c) The volume of Earth is V   R3  3

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 gry2 = 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 m,

1km 103 m 103 m  106 m m 109 m.

The given measurement is 1.0 km (two significant figures), which implies our result
should be written as 1.0 109 m.

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

1cm = 102 m = 102 m  10 6 m m 104 m.

We conclude that the fraction of one centimeter equal to 1.0 m is 1.0 104.

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