Question 51

A recent estimation of the Hubble constant, obtained from observations of gravitational wave standard sirens, yields a value of 2.35×10−18 s−12.35 \times 10^{-18}\text{ s}^{-1}2.35×10−18 s−1.

What is this value, written to 3 significant figures, in km s−1Mpc−1\text{km s}^{-1}\text{Mpc}^{-1}km s−1Mpc−1? (Take 1 pc=3.09×1016 m1\text{ pc} = 3.09 \times 10^{16}\text{ m}1 pc=3.09×1016 m)
