Represent each of the following with SI units having an appropriate prefix: (a) 8653 ms, (b) 8368 N, (c) 0.893 kg.
Statics of Rigid Bodies 14th Edition by RC Hibbeler, Problem 1-11
Solution:
Part A
\begin{align*}
8653 \ \text{ms} & = 8653 \ \left( 10^{-3} \right) \ \text{s} \\
& =8.653 \ \text{s}
\end{align*}Part B
\begin{align*}
8368 \ \text{N} & = 8.368\times 10^3 \ \text{N}\\
& = 8.368 \ \text{kN}\\
\end{align*}Part C
\begin{align*}
0.893 \ \text{kg} & = 0.893\times 10^3 \ \text{g} \\
& =893 \ \text{g}
\end{align*}
