[meteorite-list] Significant digits

Hi Greg, Good old empty precision on a number converted from metric units. 11,000 metric tons = 24250848.8 lbs. The humorous thing is that I seriously doubt the original mass is known to better than a factor of 3, so none of the digits are significant. --Rob

Re: [meteorite-list] Significant digits

Thanks for the explanation, Rob.  That makes it a lot easier for me to accept.   Sometimes claims by scientists mystify me.  This was one of those times, but I understand it now.  Thanks again.   Greg L. Date: Tue, 9 Apr 2013 13:54:43 -0700 From:

Re: [meteorite-list] Significant digits

Wouldn't it of progressively obtained more weight as it came closer to the surface of the Earth? Isn't it true the higher you climb into the sky the less you would weigh so if true then the opposite must be true! So what was the weight when it exploded, since it was closer to the surface of the

Re: [meteorite-list] Significant digits

Kilograms are a unit of mass, which is regardless of the force of gravity. Although often spoken of as weight, correctly it should be referred to as mass. Michael in so. Cal. On Tue, Apr 9, 2013 at 3:03 PM, Don Merchant dmerc...@rochester.rr.com wrote: Wouldn't it of progressively obtained

Re: [meteorite-list] Significant digits

Michael, you are totally correct. Did you notice that the current usage (in MetBull but also in some official scientific papers) is that one always writes total known weight but also main mass ? Is this now fully admitted or tolerated or ...just odd ? I was puzzled with this years ago but

Re: [meteorite-list] Significant digits

Weight is a force, properly measured in Newtons (or some other unit of force). And strictly, your comment should have referred to the acceleration of gravity, not the force of gravity. Of course, mass and weight are related by Newton's Second Law, F=ma. And it is quite true that the
