Question

number of significant figures in 0.02340 Nm–¹

Answer 1

4 is the answer.............

Answer 2

Answer:

Four

Step-by-step explanation:

• We know that the non-zero digits in any given set of numbers are always significant.
• The zeroes that fall between any two significant digits are considered significant.
• The leading zeroes are not considered significant.
• The zeroes that fall on the right side of the decimal position are significant.

Since in the given number there are two trailing zeroes that are leading the number, therefore they are not significant. However, the zeroes on the right side of the decimal position are significant.

The figures $2, 3, 4, 0$ are significant.

Hence, there are four significant figures in $0.02340 \ Nm^{-1}$.
