You measure water in two containers: a 10-ml graduated cylinder with marks at every ml, and a 1-ml pipet marked at every 0.1 ml. if you have some water in each of the containers and add them together, to what decimal place could you report the total volume of water?

To a tenth of a mililiter (0.1mL)

Explanation:

When considering the precision of a measurement system, a more precise intrument needs to record smaller intervals of data; a better resolution. In this case we have a cylinder with a resolution of 1 mL. When we pour the amount of water we can't precisely measure anything less than 1 mL UNLESS it is added to the pipet described in this problem which records measurements of up to 0.1 mL (a tenth of a mililiter). Thus the total measurement system can only report a resolution of up to 0.1 mL

as a general rule, scissors have blades less than 6 in (15 cm) long and usually have handles with finger holes of the same size. shears have blades scissors used to cut hair or fabric must be much sharper.

force tends to be low and long diustance masses are high
