1. Both the hertz and the curie have dimensions of s−1. Explain the difference between these two units. Solution: The hertz is used for periodic phenomena and equals the number of “cycles per second.” The curie is used for the random or stochastic rate at which a radioactive source decays, specifically, 1 Ci = 3.7 × 1010 decays/second. 2. Advantages of SI units are apparent when one is presented with units of barrels, ounces, tons, and many others. (a) Compare the British and U.S....
