A human hair is approximately 50 μm = 5 × 10⁻⁵ m in diameter
Further explanation
Some units of length and its conversion that need to be recalled are:
[tex]1 ~ foot = 30.48 ~ cm[/tex]
[tex]1 ~ inch = 2.54 ~ cm[/tex]
[tex]1 ~ foot = 12 ~ inches[/tex]
[tex]1 ~ mile = 1609.34 ~ metres[/tex]
[tex]1 ~ yard = 0,9144 ~ metres[/tex]
[tex]1 ~\mu m = 1 \times 10^{-6} ~ m[/tex]
Let us now tackle the problem !
Given:
A human hair is approximately 50 μm in diameter.
[tex]1 ~\mu m = 1 \times 10^{-6} ~ m[/tex]
[tex]50 ~\mu m = 50 \times 10^{-6} ~ m[/tex]
[tex]50 ~\mu m = 5 \times 10^1 \times 10^{-6} ~ m[/tex]
[tex]50 ~\mu m = 5 \times 10^{1-6} ~ m[/tex]
[tex]\large {\boxed {50 ~\mu m = 5 \times 10^{-5} ~ m} }[/tex]
Conclusion :
A human hair is approximately 50 μm = 5 × 10⁻⁵ m in diameter
