The mass of a box measured by a grocer’s balance is 2.300 kg. Two gold pieces of masses 20.15 g and 20.17 g are added to the box. What is (a) the total mass of the box, (b) the difference in the masses of the pieces to correct significant figures

Normally, the reported result of measurement is a number that includes all digits in the number that are known reliably plus first digit that is uncertain. The digits that are known reliably plus the first uncertain digit are known as significant digits or significant figures. e.g. When a measured distance is reported to be 374.5 m, it has four significant figures 3, 7, 4 and 5. The figures 3, 7, 4 are certain and reliable, while the digit 5 is uncertain. Clearly, the digits beyond the significant digits reported in any result are superfluous.Choose the correct

Einstein’s mass - energy relation emerging out of his famous theory of relativity relates mass (m ) to energy (E ) as E = mc 2, where c is speed of light in vacuum. At the nuclear level, the magnitudes of energy are very small. The energy at nuclear level is usually measured in MeV, where 1 MeV= 1.6×10–13 J; the masses are measured in unified atomic mass unit (u) where 1u = 1.67 × 10–27 kg.
