Answer: length of wire in meters =[tex]1.6\times 10^{-2}[/tex]
Explanation: Given : length of copper wire = 1.6 cm
Now by metric system we know that :
centi stands for [tex]10^2[/tex]
Thus 1 m is equal to 100 cm
1 cm =[tex]10^{-2}m[/tex]
1.6 cm=[tex]\frac{10^{-2}}{1}\times 1.6=1.6\times 10^{-2}m[/tex]
Thus length of wire in meters =[tex]1.6\times 10^{-2}[/tex]
