The correct Answer is:
To convert the given values into SI units, we will follow a systematic approach for each part of the question. ### Solution: **(i) 5' 6'' (height of an Indian man)** 1. Convert feet to inches: - 5 feet = 5 × 12 inches = 60 inches - Total height = 60 inches + 6 inches = 66 inches 2. Convert inches to meters: - 1 inch = 2.54 cm - 66 inches = 66 × 2.54 cm = 167.64 cm - Convert cm to meters: 167.64 cm = 167.64 / 100 m = 1.6764 m - Rounding off, the height is approximately **1.68 m**. **(ii) 80 miles per hour (average speed of a roadways bus)** 1. Convert miles to meters: - 1 mile = 1.609 km = 1609 m - 80 miles = 80 × 1609 m = 128720 m 2. Convert hours to seconds: - 1 hour = 3600 seconds 3. Calculate speed in meters per second: - Speed = Distance / Time = 128720 m / 3600 s = 35.8 m/s **(iii) 100 pounds (average weight of an Indian girl)** 1. Convert pounds to grams: - 1 lb = 454 g - 100 lb = 100 × 454 g = 45400 g 2. Convert grams to kilograms: - 45400 g = 45400 / 1000 kg = 45.4 kg **(iv) -10°C (lowest temperature in Simla)** 1. Convert Celsius to Kelvin: - K = °C + 273.15 - K = -10 + 273.15 = 263.15 K **(v) 2 liters of milk (average consumption of a family of 4 persons)** 1. Convert liters to cubic decimeters: - 1 liter = 1 dm³ - Therefore, 2 liters = 2 dm³ **(vi) 14 pounds per square inch (atmospheric pressure)** 1. Convert pounds per square inch to kilograms per square meter: - 1 lb = 0.453592 kg - 1 inch = 0.0254 m - 1 in² = (0.0254 m)² = 0.00064516 m² 2. Convert 14 lb/in² to kg/m²: - 14 lb/in² = 14 × 0.453592 kg / 0.00064516 m² - = 14 × 0.453592 / 0.00064516 kg/m² - ≈ 100,000 kg/m² (approximately) ### Final Answers: 1. Height: **1.68 m** 2. Speed: **35.8 m/s** 3. Weight: **45.4 kg** 4. Temperature: **263.15 K** 5. Volume: **2 dm³** 6. Pressure: **≈ 100,000 kg/m²**

To convert the given values into SI units, we will follow a systematic approach for each part of the question. ### Solution: **(i) 5' 6'' (height of an Indian man)** 1. Convert feet to inches: - 5 feet = 5 × 12 inches = 60 inches ...
