These are also listed on the inside front cover of the book. Note that when an SI unit with a prefix is raised to a power, the prefix is also raised to that power. For example, 8 cm3 = 2 cm × 2 cm × 2 cm. SI units are preferred in physics and are emphasized in this book. Since other units are sometimes used, we must know how to convert units. Various scientific fields, even in physics, do use units other than SI units, whether for historical or practical reasons. 1 Scientific notation uses powers of ten to express quantities that have a wide range of values.

2 Approximation of human body by one or more cylinders. Approximating the Surface Area of the Human Body Sometimes it is difficult or impossible to measure precisely a quantity that is needed for a problem. Then we have to make a reasonable estimate. Suppose we need to know the surface area of a human being to determine the heat loss by radiation in a cold room. We can estimate the height of an average person. We can also estimate the average distance around the waist or hips. Approximating the shape of a human body as a cylinder, we can estimate the surface area by calculating the surface area of a cylinder with the same height and circumference (Fig.

Some of the information can be written in labels on the diagram. Be sure that the labels are unambiguous. Identify in the diagram the object, the position, the instant of time, or the time interval to which the quantity applies. Sometimes information might be usefully written in a table beside the diagram. Look at the wording of the problem again for information that is implied or stated indirectly. 4. Identify the goal of the problem. What quantities need to be found? 5. If possible, make an estimate to determine the order of magnitude of the answer.
