Question
State the number of significant figures in the following: $0.0006032 \mathrm{~m}^2$
✓
Answer
4 Explanation:The given quantity is $0.0006032 \mathrm{~m}^2$.
If the number is less than one, then the zeroes on the right of the decimal point (but left to the first non-zero) are insignificant. Hence, all three zeroes appearing before 6 are not significant figures. All zeros between two non-zero digits are always significant. Hence, the remaining four digits are significant figures.
