Will 1,535 ml of Water Fit in a 15x10x10 cm Container?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on determining whether 1,535 ml of water can fit into a container with dimensions of 15 cm by 10 cm by 10 cm. The volume of the container is calculated to be 1,500 cm³, which is equivalent to 1,500 ml. Given the water's volume of 1,535 ml, it exceeds the container's capacity. Therefore, the water will not fit in the container. The conversation encourages users to express the container's volume with uncertainty to enhance understanding.

Homework Statement



Suppose you have a quantity of water with a volume measurement of 1,535 +/- 10 ml. This quantity of water is to be transferred into a regular orthogonal container whose interior dimensions measure 15.0 +/- 0.1 cm long, 10.0 +/- 0.1 cm wide, and 10.0 +/- 0.1 cm deep. If you attempt to pour the water into the container, it may fit or it may just fit or it may not fit. Predict whether the water will fit and provide the justification for your answer.

Welcome to PF!

May I ask why you left the areas below "2. Homework Equations " and "3. The Attempt at a Solution " blank? Surely you must have some idea!

Oh well, because it's Thursday, here's a hint... you could start by expressing the volume of the container as "... +/- ... cm³".
How much ml is that?
 

Thread 'Errors and significant figures'

I multiplied the values first without the error limit. Got 19.38. rounded it off to 2 significant figures since the given data has 2 significant figures. So = 19. For error I used the above formula. It comes out about 1.48. Now my question is. Should I write the answer as 19±1.5 (rounding 1.48 to 2 significant figures) OR should I write it as 19±1. So in short, should the error have same number of significant figures as the mean value or should it have the same number of decimal places as...

Thread 'Collision of a bullet on a rod-string system: query'

Thread 'Collision of a bullet on a rod-string system: query'

In this question, I have a question. I am NOT trying to solve it, but it is just a conceptual question. Consider the point on the rod, which connects the string and the rod. My question: just before and after the collision, is ANGULAR momentum CONSERVED about this point? Lets call the point which connects the string and rod as P. Why am I asking this? : it is clear from the scenario that the point of concern, which connects the string and the rod, moves in a circular path due to the string...

Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanging mass'

Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanging mass'

Let's declare that for the cylinder, mass = M = 10 kg Radius = R = 4 m For the wall and the floor, Friction coeff = ##\mu## = 0.5 For the hanging mass, mass = m = 11 kg First, we divide the force according to their respective plane (x and y thing, correct me if I'm wrong) and according to which, cylinder or the hanging mass, they're working on. Force on the hanging mass $$mg - T = ma$$ Force(Cylinder) on y $$N_f + f_w - Mg = 0$$ Force(Cylinder) on x $$T + f_f - N_w = Ma$$ There's also...
