1. Round off the following number to three significant figures a) 4.65735 m b) 55.578 s c) 4555 N
d) 2768 kg

2. Represent each of the following quantities in the correct SI form using an appropriate prefix:
c) 0.00532 km
a) 0.000431 kg
b) 35.3 (103) N

3. Evaluate each of the following and express with an appropriate prefix: (a) 354 mg(45
km)/(0.0356 kN); (b) (0.00453 Mg)(201 ms); (c) 435 MN/23.2 mm
4. What is the weight in newtons of an object that has a mass of: (a) 10 kg b) 0.5 g c) 4.50 Mg?
Express the result to three significant figures. Use an appropriate prefix.

5. Two particles have a mass of 8 kg and 12 kg respectively. If the distance between them is
800mm, determine the force of gravity acting between them. Compare this result with the
weight of each particle.

6. Determine the mass of an object that has a weight of a) 20mN b) 150 kN c) 60 MN. Express the
answer to three significant figures.
7. Using the base unit of the SI system, show that F = Gm1m2/r2 is a homogenous equation which
gives F in Newton. Determine to three significant figures the gravitational force acting between
two particles. The mass of each particles is 200 kg and distance between is 600 mm.
