Question

Numbers‌ ‌of‌ ‌significant‌ ‌figures‌ ‌in‌ ‌the‌ ‌volume‌ ‌of‌ ‌a‌ ‌cube‌ ‌of‌ ‌side‌ ‌6.103‌ ‌m‌ ‌are______‌

Answer 1

Hint: In positional notation, significant figures (also known as significant digits, precision, or resolution) are digits in a number that are dependable and absolutely required to indicate the quantity of something. Only the digits required by the measurement resolution are accurate, so only these can be significant figures if a number representing the result of measurement of something (e.g., length, strain, volume, or mass) has more digits than the measurement resolution allows.

Complete answer:
In positional notation, significant figures (also known as significant digits, precision, or resolution) are digits in a number that are dependable and absolutely required to indicate the quantity of something. Only the digits required by the measurement resolution are accurate, so only these can be significant figures if a number representing the result of measurement of something (e.g., length, strain, volume, or mass) has more digits than the measurement resolution allows.
All leading zeros, trailing zeroes and spurious digits are insignificant in nature.
The digit with the highest exponent value (simply the left-most significant figure) is the most significant of the significant figures in a number, and the digit with the lowest exponent value is the least significant (simply the right-most significant figure).
Here, in the length of the side, there are 4 significant figures. As a result, the volume measured should be rounded to four significant figures. Multiplying numbers does not result in significant figures being increased.
