Chapter 1: Problem 39

The unit of pressure in the SI system is the pascal. What would be the SI name for 1 one-thousandth of a pascal?

Short Answer

Expert verified
Answer: 1 millipascal (1 mPa)

Step by step solution

01

Understand the SI prefix system

In the SI (International System of Units) system, there are various prefixes used to represent decimal multiples and submultiples of a unit. In this case, we will look for the prefix that represents one-thousandth (1/1000).
02

Identify the appropriate SI prefix

The prefix for one-thousandth is "milli" (m), which represents a factor of 10^{-3}.
03

Convert pascal to millipascal

Now that we know the SI prefix for one-thousandth is "milli", we can convert 1 pascal to millipascal. To do this, multiply the value of pascal by the milli factor (\times10^{-3}): 1\,\text{Pascal} \times 10^{-3} = 1\,\text{millipascal}
04

Provide the final SI name

The SI name for 1 one-thousandth of a pascal is 1 millipascal (1 mPa).

A map in a pirate's log gives directions to the location of a buried treasure. The starting location is an old oak tree. According to the map, the treasure's location is found by proceeding 20 paces north from the oak tree and then 30 paces northwest. At this location, an iron pin is sunk in the ground. From the iron pin, walk 10 paces south and dig. How far (in paces) from the oak tree is the spot at which digging occurs?
