0.48 has 2 significant figures and 0.4800 has 4 significant figures. The correct answer would depend on the device used to measure the string, and on the precision of that instrument.

It is exactly equal to the length of string you have measured in centimeters.

Exactly the same as the length in a length of string.


Is a string smaller than an atom?

In string theory a string is a one-dimensional object. It has length, but no width or height. It's hard to compare a one-dimensional object with a three-dimensional object like an atom in any meaningful way. About the best answer that can be given is that if it turns out that string theory or one of its variants is correct, atoms are composed of objects that are themselves made up of strings.


What affect the speed of sound in a stretched string?

The velocity, v, of a wave in a taut string is dependant on the tension in the string, T, and the mass distribution (or mass per length ratio), μ.v2 = T/μ


Mersenne's Law says the frequency of a vibrating string is inversely proportional to the square root of the mass per unit length but why not simply to the mass per unit length?

Why not? Not to be overly terse . . . because it's NOT inversely proportional to the mass per unit length. It's inversely proportional to the SQUARE ROOT of the MPUL. If the fundamental frequency of a string were inversely proportional to its MPUL, then doubling the MPUL of the string would cut the fundamental frequency in half (that is, reduce it 50 percent). But we know from observation and analysis that that is not the case. If we double the MPUL of the string, then the fundamental frequency is reduced by about 29 percent, not 50 percent. To reduce the fundamental frequency of the string by half, we would have to quadruple the MPUL of the string!

What is the constant string length method?

To get the length of the string we use length property. The length property returns the length of a string (number of characters we use).If the string is empty, length of the string will be 0. Syntax: string.length Hope this helps.


How are ladies ring sizes measured?

Ladies' ring sizes are measured by wrapping a piece of string around the finger to be measured. The length of string is then measured against a chart called a ring sizer, and the length of the string will line up to the correct ring size.

If the length of a piece of string... is any length of string cut from a spool... 'what is the maximum length of a piece of a piece of string' or 'how much string is on a spool'?

100 metres seems to be the length of a spool of gardeners cotton Discuss:How_long_is_a_piece_of_string...we are not talking about jute twine here!So the maximum length of a piece of string would be 999.99mm!So the real answer to 'how long is a piece of string?' would be...anything between 0.01mm to 999.99mm.
