Question: A gry is an old English measure for length, defined as 1/10 of a line, where line is another old English measure for length, defined as 1/12 inch. A common measure for length in the publishing business is a point, defined as 1/72 inch. What is an area of 0.50gry2in points squared (points2)

Short Answer

Expert verified

Answer

The area of 0.50gry2 in is 0.18 points2.

Step by step solution

01

Given data

The conversion factors given here are listed below:

1gry=110line1line=112inch1point=172inch1inch=72points

02

Understanding the conversion factors

Every measurement can be attributed to different units. Such units may be converted between them using a conversion factor.

Calculate the conversion factor for gry to points using the given information in step 1.

Therefore,

1gry2=110line×11line×112inch×11inchi×72points...(i)=0.36points2Thus,1gry2isequivalentto0.36points2.

03

Determination of the area in points2.

Use the conversion factor in equation (i) to convert the area from gry2 to point2.

0.50gry2=0.50gry2×0.36points21gry2=0.18points2

Thus, 0.50 gry2 is equivalent to 0.18points2.

Figure 7-41shows a cord attached to a cart that can slide along a frictionless horizontal rail aligned along an x axis. The left end of the cord is pulled over a pulley, of negligible mass and friction and at cord heighth=1.20m, so the cart slides fromx1=3.00mtox2=1.00m. During the move, the tension in the cord is a constant25.0N. What is the change in the kinetic energy of the cart during the move?

On a spending spree in Malaysia, you buy an ox with a weight of 28.9 piculs in the local unit of weights: 1 picul =100 gins, 1 gin =16 tahils, 1 tahil =10 chees, and 1 chee =10 hoons. The weight of 1 hoon corresponds to a mass of 0.3779 g. When you arrange to ship the ox home to your astonished family, how much mass in kilograms must you declare on the shipping manifest? (Hint: Set up multiple chain-link conversions.)

Question: Spacing in this book was generally done in units of points and picas: 12 Points = 1 pica , and 6 picas =1 inch. If a figure was misplaced in the page proofs by 0.80cm , what was the misplacement in (a) picas and (b) points?
