I've always assumed that the 2 was 2.00000000000000000....etc.\n\nSo, I would say use two sig figs.

I do not clearly understand your question, but if you have a metric ruler and you want measure a drawing (or map) in English units scale, the problem is of conversions i.e. if drawing is 0.5=12" it would mean 1:24 so if you measure 10mm it would mean 240mm. Hope it helps.

Direct measurement will be correct.\nPeople can be mistaken, or lie.\n\n;-D Where did you not learn to spell? Wow.

In terms of mass.\nThe SI unit for mass is the kilogram (kg).\n\nDo not confuse mass with weight, they are not the same thing.  The mass of an object is constant throughout the universe where as weight is a vector force that depends on the gravitational field around the object.  It is unfortunate that these two words are used interchangably sometimes.

Learn the common metric prefixes: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SI_prefix . This is no longer the nonsensical Imperial system; every conversion is just some power of 10 that is directly prescribed by the base unit's prefix.

The metric system uses the prefixes deci-, centi-, milli-, micro-, and nano-.\n\nA decimeter is one-tenth (1/10th or .1) meter.\nA centimeter is one-one hundredth (1/100 or .01) meter.\nA millimeter is one-one thousandth (1/1,000 or .001) meter.\nA micrometer is one-millionth (1/1,000,000 or .000001) meter.\nA nanometer is one billionth (1/1,000,000,000 or .000000001) meter.\n\nI hope this is what you were looking for.

all SI derived units can be expressed in a combination of SI base units:\nlength -- meter (m)\nmass -- kilogram (kg)\ntime -- second (s) \nelectric current -- ampere (A) \nthermodynamic temperature -- kelvin (K) \namount of substance -- mole (mol) \nluminous intensity -- candela (cd) \n\nExamples:\nUnit of force: Newton -- N = kg·m/s²\n\nUnit of power: Watt -- W = Joule/second = Ampere·Volt = Ampere·Ohm² = Volt²/Ohm = kg·m²/s³\n\nUnit of electrical potential: Volt = Joule/Coulumb = Joule/Ampere·second = Watt/Ampere = kg·m²/A·s³\n\nConductance: 1/Ohm = Ampere/Volt = A²·s³/kg·m²

Depends on which 'unit' you're talking about   :P

Work, power and energy all have the same units of measurement in SI scale
