Represent each of the following with SI units havingan appropriate prefix: (a) 8653 ms, (b) 8368 N, (c) 0.893 kg.

Step-by-Step Solution Step 1 We are given the units ${\rm{8653}}\;{\rm{ms}}$, $8368\;{\rm{N}}$ and $0.893\;{\rm{kg}}$. We are asked to represent the SI units. Step 2 (a) To find the SI unit we need to reduce the combinations of units. Since ${\rm{1 ms}} = {\rm{1}}{{\rm{0}}^{ – 3}}\,{\rm{s}}$, then\[\begin{array}{c} {\rm{8653}}\;{\rm{ms}} = \left( {{\rm{8}}{\rm{.653}} \times {\rm{1}}{{\rm{0}}^3}\;{\rm{ms}}} \right)\left( {\frac{{{\rm{1}}{{\rm{0}}^{ – 3}}\,{\rm{s}}}}{{{\rm{1}}\;{\rm{ms}}}}} […]
