The diameter of a spherical bob is measured using a vernier callipers. 9 divisions of the main scale, in the vernier callipers, are equal to 10 divisions of vernier scale. One main scale division is 1 mm. The main scale reading is 10 mm and 8th division of vernier scale was found to coincide exactly with one of the main scale division. If the given vernier callipers has positive zero error of 0.04 cm, then the radius of the bob is ___________ $\times$ 10$-$2 cm.
Correct Answer: 52
Explanation:
To understand the measurement of the spherical bob's diameter using Vernier calipers, let's break it down step by step:
Vernier Scale Calculation:
We are given that 9 divisions on the main scale (MSD) are equivalent to 10 divisions on the Vernier scale (VSD).
One main scale division is 1 mm. Therefore, 9 MSD = 9 mm.
Since 9 mm = 10 VSD, one VSD equals $ \frac{9}{10} = 0.9 \, \text{mm} $.
Least Count (LC) of the Vernier Callipers:
The least count is the smallest measurable value and is calculated as:
$ \text{LC} = 1 \, \text{MSD} - 1 \, \text{VSD} = 1 \, \text{mm} - 0.9 \, \text{mm} = 0.1 \, \text{mm} $
Calculate the Initial Reading:
The main scale reading (MSR) is 10 mm.
The 8th division of the Vernier scale coincides with the main scale division, meaning the Vernier scale reading (VSR) is 8.
Total reading before zero error correction = MSR + VSR × LC:
$ 10 \, \text{mm} + 8 \times 0.1 \, \text{mm} = 10.8 \, \text{mm} $
Adjust for the Zero Error:
The Vernier calipers have a positive zero error of 0.04 cm (or 0.4 mm, as 1 cm = 10 mm).
To get the correct measurement, subtract the zero error:
$ 10.8 \, \text{mm} - 0.4 \, \text{mm} = 10.4 \, \text{mm} $
Compute the Radius:
The diameter calculated is 10.4 mm. To find the radius, divide by 2:
$ \text{radius} = \frac{10.4 \, \text{mm}}{2} = 5.2 \, \text{mm} $
Convert the radius from millimeters to centimeters:
$ 5.2 \, \text{mm} = 0.52 \, \text{cm} = 52 \times 10^{-2} \, \text{cm} $
The radius of the spherical bob is $ 52 \times 10^{-2} $ cm.

The acceleration due to gravity is found upto an accuracy of 4% on a planet. The energy supplied to a simple pendulum to known mass 'm' to undertake oscillations of time period T is being estimated. If time period is measured to an accuracy of 3%, the accuracy to which E is known as ..............%
Correct Answer: 14
Explanation:
$T = 2\pi \sqrt {{l \over g}} \Rightarrow l = {{{T^2}g} \over {4{\pi ^2}}}$
$E = mgl{{{\theta ^2}} \over 2} = m{g^2}{{{T^2}{\theta ^2}} \over {8{\pi ^2}}}$
${{dE} \over E} = 2\left( {{{dg} \over g} + {{dT} \over T}} \right)$
$ = (4 + 3) = 14\% $
$E = mgl{{{\theta ^2}} \over 2} = m{g^2}{{{T^2}{\theta ^2}} \over {8{\pi ^2}}}$
${{dE} \over E} = 2\left( {{{dg} \over g} + {{dT} \over T}} \right)$

Student A and student B used two screw gauges of equal pitch and 100 equal circular divisions to measure the radius of a given wire. The actual value of the radius of the wire is 0.322 cm. The absolute value of the difference between the final circular scale readings observed by the students A and B is ______________.
[Figure shows position of reference 'O' when jaws of screw gauge are closed]
Given pitch = 0.1 cm.
[Figure shows position of reference 'O' when jaws of screw gauge are closed]
Given pitch = 0.1 cm.
Correct Answer: 13
Explanation:
Zero error occurs when the screw gauge does not read zero when its jaws are closed. This error needs to be accounted for in the final measurement. The least count (LC) of a screw gauge, calculated as the pitch (p) divided by the number of divisions (N) on the circular scale, helps us determine the value of this error.
The least count of both screw gauges is LC = $p / N=0.1 / 100=0.001 \mathrm{~cm}$.
For screw gauge A, the zero error is calculated by adding the main scale reading (MSR) at zero and the circular scale reading (CSR) at zero, multiplied by the least count. Screw gauge A's MSR at zero is 0 and its CSR at zero is 5. Therefore, its zero error is ( 0 + 5 $\times$ 0.001 = 0.005 ) cm.
For screw gauge B, the zero error involves a negative main scale reading and a circular scale reading. The MSR at zero is -1 (since the main scale is 0.1 cm per division, this corresponds to -0.1 cm) and the CSR at zero is 92. Thus, the zero error for B is ( (-1 $\times$ 0.1) + 92 $\times$ 0.001 = -0.008 ) cm.
To find the difference between the final circular scale readings of screw gauges A and B, we look at the difference in their zero errors. The absolute difference is ( |0.005 - (-0.008)| = |0.005 + 0.008| = 0.013 ) cm. This value represents the absolute difference in the final readings of the two screw gauges, accounting for their individual zero errors.
However, to express this difference in terms of the circular scale divisions (since the least count is 0.001 cm per division), we multiply this difference by 1000 (since 1 cm = 1000 mm and each division represents 0.001 cm) :
$ \text{Difference in Divisions} = 0.013 \text{ cm} \times 1000 $
$ = 13 \text{ divisions} $

If E1, E2 and E3 are the percentage errors in 'g' for students 1, 2 and 3 respectively, then the minimum percentage error is obtained by student no. ______________.
Correct Answer: 1
Explanation:
$T = {t \over n} = 2\pi \sqrt {{l \over g}} $
$ \Rightarrow g = {{4{\pi ^2}l} \over {{T^2}}}$
$ \Rightarrow {{\Delta g} \over g} \times 100 = {{\Delta l} \over l} \times 100 + 2{{\Delta T} \over T} \times 100$
$ = \left( {{{\Delta l} \over l} + {{2\Delta T} \over {T}}} \right)100\% $
${E_1} = {{20} \over {64}}\% $
${E_2} = {{30} \over {64}}\% $
${E_3} = {{19} \over {18}}\% $
$ \Rightarrow g = {{4{\pi ^2}l} \over {{T^2}}}$
$ \Rightarrow {{\Delta g} \over g} \times 100 = {{\Delta l} \over l} \times 100 + 2{{\Delta T} \over T} \times 100$
$ = \left( {{{\Delta l} \over l} + {{2\Delta T} \over {T}}} \right)100\% $

The radius of a sphere is measured to be (7.50 $\pm$ 0.85) cm. Suppose the percentage error in its volume is x.
The value of x, to the nearest x, is __________.
The value of x, to the nearest x, is __________.
Correct Answer: 34
Explanation:
Given, radius of sphere = (7.50 $\pm$ 0.85) cm
$ \therefore $ r = 7.50 and dr = 0.85
We know, volume of a sphere $v = {4 \over 3}\pi {r^3}$
taking log both sides, we get
$\ln v = \ln {{4\pi } \over 3} + 3\ln r$
Differentiating both sides,
${{dv} \over v} = 0 + 3{{dr} \over r}$
$ \therefore $ Fractional error in volume ${{dv} \over v} = 3{{dr} \over r}$
$ \therefore $ % error in volume,
${{dv} \over v} \times 100 = 3{{dr} \over r} \times 100$
$ = 3 \times {{0.85} \over {7.50}} \times 100$
= 34%
$ \therefore $ r = 7.50 and dr = 0.85
We know, volume of a sphere $v = {4 \over 3}\pi {r^3}$
taking log both sides, we get
$\ln v = \ln {{4\pi } \over 3} + 3\ln r$
Differentiating both sides,
${{dv} \over v} = 0 + 3{{dr} \over r}$
$ \therefore $ Fractional error in volume ${{dv} \over v} = 3{{dr} \over r}$
$ \therefore $ % error in volume,
${{dv} \over v} \times 100 = 3{{dr} \over r} \times 100$
$ = 3 \times {{0.85} \over {7.50}} \times 100$
= 34%

The resistance R = ${V \over I}$, where V = (50 $\pm$ 2)V and I = (20 $\pm$ 0.2)A. The percentage error in R is 'x'%. The value of 'x' to the nearest integer is _________.
Correct Answer: 5
Explanation:
$R = {V \over I}$
${{\Delta R} \over R} \times 100 = {{\Delta V} \over V} \times 100 + {{\Delta I} \over I} \times 100$
% error in $R = {2 \over {50}} \times 100 + {{0.2} \over {20}} \times 100$
% error in R = 4 + 1
$ \therefore $ % error in R = 5%
${{\Delta R} \over R} \times 100 = {{\Delta V} \over V} \times 100 + {{\Delta I} \over I} \times 100$
% error in $R = {2 \over {50}} \times 100 + {{0.2} \over {20}} \times 100$
% error in R = 4 + 1
$ \therefore $ % error in R = 5%

The density of a solid metal sphere is determined by measuring its mass and its diameter. The
maximum error in the density of the sphere is $\left( {{x \over {100}}} \right)$ %. If the relative errors in measuring the mass
and the diameter are 6.0% and 1.5% respectively, the value of x is_______.
Correct Answer: 1050
Explanation:
$\rho $ = ${M \over V}$ = ${M \over {{4 \over 3}\pi {{\left( {{D \over 2}} \right)}^3}}}$
$ \Rightarrow $ $\rho $ = ${6 \over \pi }M{D^{ - 3}}$
For maximum error
${{d\rho } \over \rho } \times 100 = {{dM} \over M} \times 100 + 3{{dD} \over D} \times 100$
= 6 + 3 $ \times $ 1.5
= 10.5 %
= $\left( {{{1050} \over {100}}} \right)$ %
$ \therefore $ x = 1050
$ \Rightarrow $ $\rho $ = ${6 \over \pi }M{D^{ - 3}}$
For maximum error
${{d\rho } \over \rho } \times 100 = {{dM} \over M} \times 100 + 3{{dD} \over D} \times 100$
= 6 + 3 $ \times $ 1.5
= 10.5 %
= $\left( {{{1050} \over {100}}} \right)$ %
$ \therefore $ x = 1050
