The mass of a box measured by a grocer's...

The mass of a box measured by a grocer's balance is 2.3 kg. Two gold pieces of masses 20.15 g and 20.17g are added to the box. What is (a) total mass of the box (b) the difference in masses of gold pieces to correct significant figures.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
(a) Total mass = 2.3 kg
(b) Difference in masses = 0.02 kg
(a) Total mass of the box
`= 2.3 kg + 20. 15 g + 20 . 17 g = 2. 34017 kg `
`=2.3 kg `
(b) Difference in masses of gold pieces
`= 20.17 g - 20.15 g = 0.02 g`
