Question

The beakers shown below have different precisions. label the amount of water in each of the three beakers to the correct number of significant figures. is it possible for each of the three beakers to the correct number of significant figures

Answer 1

The diagram is attached below

Beaker 1: The measurement line is between 32  and 33. There are 5 lines between 32  and 33. Making line is between third line and fourth line(between 6 and 8). So 32.7

Beaker 2: The measurement line is between 30  and 40. We can clearly see the measurement line at 32. So its 32

Beaker 3: The measurement line is between 32.7  and 32.8. We have 10 small lines inbetween them. Measurement line at 4. So its 32.74

(b) the amount of water in each of 3 beakers are not same because we can measure the difference. But they are close to each other.
