Answer:
(1) 2553 N = 2550 N
(2) 58342 m = 58300 m
(3) 68.534 s = 68.5 s
Explanation:
To round off a number to any significant number start from the last digit, round it off to 1 if the number is up to 5 and to 0 if the last digit is less than 5. Add this 1 or 0 to the preceding digit and continue the process until you are left with three non zero digits, if you are rounding off to three significant figures.
(1) Round off 2553 N to three significant figures.
= 2550 N
(2) Round off 58342 m to three significant figures.
= 58300 m
(3) Round off 68.534 s to three significant figures.
= 68.500 s (zero after decimal point is insignificant)
= 68.5 s
