    Sample Problem 1.

    01 Estimating order of
    magnitude, ball of string
    The world’s largest ball of string is about 2 m in radius. To the nearest
    order of magnitude, what is the total length L of the string in the ball?
    Sample
    Problem 1.02
    Density and
    liquefaction
    Exercise 1
    Earth is approximately a sphere of radius 6.37 x10^6 m. What are (a) its
    circumference in kilometers, (b) its surface area in square kilometers,
    and (c) its volume in cubic kilometers?
    Exercise 3
    Antarctica is roughly semicircular, with a radius of 2000 km (Fig. 1-5).
    The average thickness of its ice cover is 3000 m. How many cubic
    centimeters of ice does Antarctica contain? (Ignore the curvature of
    Earth.)
    Exercise 4
    Suppose that, while lying on a beach near the equator watching the
    Sun set over a calm ocean, you start a stopwatch just as the top of the
    Sun disappears. You then stand, elevating your eyes by a height H 1.70
    m, and stop the watch when the top of the Sun again disappears. If the
    elapsed time is t 11.1 s, what is the radius r of Earth?
    Exercise 5
    (a) Assuming that water has a density of exactly 1 g/cm3 , find the mass
    of one cubic meter of water in kilograms. (b) Suppose that it takes 10.0
    h to drain a container of 5700 m3 of water.What is the “mass flow
    rate,” in kilograms per second, of water from the container?
    Exercise 6
    Iron has a density of 7.87 g/cm^3 , and the mass of an iron atom is 9.27
    x 10^-26 kg. If the atoms are spherical and tightly packed, (a) what is
    the volume of an iron atom and (b) what is the distance between the
    centers of adjacent atoms?
