ah=3sin(30*0)=0
b)h=3sin(30*7)=3sin(210)=-1.5
c)The negative sign means the water is below sea level ie the tide is out

For your previous median qestion, complete a cumulative frequency colum. The class interval in which the cumulative total goes more than halfway towards the overall total is the median class.

hey guys can anyone help me out with the significant firgures part? or any website? in my textbook its not very clear.
and in all these tests I always mess up on the sf part. and also is ) a signifcant number? also something like 2045 to 2 sf is what? im really confused also theres something about " after the decimal place zero is  significant figure or something...so any help?
thanks in advance

2045 to 1 sf is 2000
to 2 sf is 2000
to 3 sf is 2050
to 4 sf is 2045

hey everybody there is a confusing question in may june 2008 paper 2

A cylindrical glass has a radius of 4cm and a height of 6cm.

A large cylinderical jar full of water is a similar shape to the glass.

The glass can be filled with water from the jar exactly 216 times.

Work out the radius and height of the jar.


if anyone can help me out it would be pretty good...thx....done with my physics paper 6

Cube root of 216=6 so r=4x6=24 and h=6x6=36

Sorry I never read this post. I only found this because I think you said I was an agent of CIE. Do you still want me to answer? When the post was made the websites were struggling with bandwidth. I have pumped some more money in but this is the first year on a dedicated server so we are still finding out how much bandwidth we need.
