  To determine the number of significant figures in the measurement 0.00060 m, we can follow these steps:1. Identify the Leading Zeros: The number 0.00060 m has leading zeros (the zeros before the first non-zero digit). These leading zeros do not count as significant figures. 2. Find the First Non-Zero Digit: The first non-zero digit in 0.00060 is '6'. 3. Count the Significant Figures: - The digit '6' is significant. - The trailing zero after '6' (the zero in '60') is also significant because it indicates precision in the measurement. - Therefore, we have two significant figures from '6' and '0'.4. Total Count of Significant Figures: - The leading zeros (0.000) do not count. - The significant figures are '6' and '0'. - Thus, the total number of significant figures in 0.00060 m is 3.Final Answer:The number of significant figures in 0.00060 m is 3.---
