Question 3

Recent observations of Cepheid variables in nearby galaxies yield a value for the Hubble constant of 74 km s−1 Mpc−174\text{ km s}^{-1}\text{ Mpc}^{-1}74 km s−1 Mpc−1.

What is the value of this measurement in units of s−1\text{s}^{-1}s−1?

Given: 1 parsec=3.08×1016 m1\text{ parsec} = 3.08 \times 10^{16}\text{ m}1 parsec=3.08×1016 m
