Well significant figures can only go up to the least accurate number
ex. 10.6 + 10.333 + 1.899999999 would equal 22.833 but since the least acurate one is 10.6 you would have to put 22.8 Try to think of how many significant figures a meter stick has and then make your answers that small.
So I am really stuck on this physics problem, its an elevator that is accelerating downward at a constant acceleration and I need to find the Tension on the rope
T=?
m=2003kg
a=1.4m/s^2
g=-9.8
T+2003(-9.8)=2003(1.4)
T=22433.6
What am i doing wrong?
