Problem 2:
How old will you be when you need to call the NIST people to report that your clock is off by one second? NIST-7 uses oscillations of radiation that are emitted by cesium-133 to keep time. When the clock is one second off, how many oscillations will have occured? Use scientific notation and the factor-label method in your calculations.
