7 such squares taking into account the
significant figures is :-
A.
37.0 cm2
B.
37 cm2
C.
37.030 cm2
D.
37.03 cm2
Correct Answer: A
Explanation:
The area of one square is 5.29 cm².
To find the area of 7 such squares, we can simply multiply the area of one square by 7:
7 x 5.29 cm² = 37.03 cm²
Since the given area has three significant figures, we need to round our answer to three significant figures as well.
Therefore, the area of 7 such squares, taking into account the significant figures, is 37.0 cm².

A.
5.755 mm
B.
5.950 mm
C.
5.725 mm
D.
5.740 mm
Correct Answer: C
Explanation:
We know,
Least count (LC) = ${{Pitch} \over {no.\,of\,divisions}}$
$ \therefore $ LC = ${{0.5} \over {100}}$
= 0.5 $ \times $ 10$-$2 mm
Reading = MSR + CSR $-$ positive error
Given, Main scale reading (MSR) = 5.5 mm
Circular scale reading (CSR)
= 48 $ \times $ 0.5 $ \times $ 10$-$2 mm
= 0.24
As zero of its circular scale lines 3 division below the mean line, it means error is position error.
$ \therefore $ positive error
= 3 $ \times $ 0.5 $ \times $ 10$-$2 mm
= 0.015 mm
$ \therefore $ Reading = 5.5 + 0.24 $-$ 0.015

If the measurement errors in all the independent quantities are known, then it is possible to determine the error in any dependent quantity. This is done by the use of series expansion and truncating the expansion at the first power of the error. For example, consider the relation $z = x/y.$ If the errors in $x,y$ and $z$ are $\Delta x,\Delta y$ and $\Delta z,$ respectively, then
$$z \pm \Delta z = {{x \pm \Delta x} \over {y \pm \Delta y}} = {x \over y}\left( {1 \pm {{\Delta x} \over x}} \right){\left( {1 \pm {{\Delta y} \over y}} \right)^{ - 1}}.$$
The series expansion for ${\left( {1 \pm {{\Delta y} \over y}} \right)^{ - 1}},$ to first power in $\Delta y/y.$ is $1 \pm \left( {\Delta y/y} \right).$ The relative errors in independent variables are always added. So the error in $z$ will be
$$\Delta z = z\left( {{{\Delta x} \over x} + {{\Delta y} \over y}} \right).$$
The above derivation makes the assumption that $\Delta x/x < < 1,$ $\Delta y/y < < 1.$ Therefore, the higher powers of these quantities are neglected.
Consider the ratio $r = {{\left( {1 - a} \right)} \over {1 + a}}$ to be determined by measuring a dimensionless quantity $a.$ If the error in the measurement of $a$ is $\Delta a\left( {\Delta a/a < < 1.} \right.$ then what is the error $\Delta r$ in determining $r$?

In an experiment the initial number of radioactive nuclei is $3000.$ It is found that $1000 \pm 40$ nuclei decayed in the first $1.0s.$ For $\left| x \right| < < 1.$ $\ln \left( {1 + x} \right) = x$ up to first power in $x.$ The error $\Delta \lambda ,$ in the determination of the decay constant $\lambda ,$ in ${s^{ - 1}},$ is
A.
$0.04$
B.
$0.03$
C.
$0.02$
D.
$0.01$
Correct Answer: C
Explanation:
The law of radioactive decay gives number of undecayed nuclei N at time t as $N = {N_0}{e^{ - \lambda t}}$, where N0 is number of nuclei at t = 0 and $\lambda$ is the decay constant. The number of nuclei decayed till time t is given by ${N_d} = {N_0} - N$. Thus, the decay constant is given by
Since, N0 = 3000 and t = 1 s are given without any error, we assume that error in $\lambda$ is due to error in Nd only. Hence, we can write above equation as

where W is weight or load = mg = 1.2 $\times$ 10 = 12 kg m s$-$2, Y is Young's modulus = 2 $\times$ 1011 N m$-$2, L is length of wire with load = 1.0 m, A is area of steel wire = $ = \pi {r^2} = {\pi \over 4}{d^2} = {\pi \over 4} \times {(0.5 \times {10^{ - 3}})^2}$

A, B, C and D are four different physical quantities having different
dimensions. None of them is dimensionless. But we know that the equation AD = C ln (BD) holds true. Then which of the combination is not a meaningful quantity ?
A.

B.
${{\left( {A - C} \right)} \over D}$
C.
${A \over B} - C$
D.
${C \over {BD}} - {{A{D^2}} \over C}$
Correct Answer: B,D
Explanation:
Given,
AD = c ln (BD)
As log is dimensionless.
So, [BD] = 1 $ \Rightarrow $ [B] = ${1 \over {\left[ D \right]}}$
And [AD] = [C]
Now checking options one by one
(a) [B2 C2] = [B2] [A2 D2] = [A2] [B2 D2] = [A2]
$ \therefore $ This is meaningful.
(b) $\left( {{{A - C} \over D}} \right)$ is not meaningful.
As dimension of A $ \ne $ dimension of C
Hence (A $-$ C) is not possible.
(c) $\left[ {{A \over B}} \right]$ = [AD] = [C]
$ \therefore $ ${{A \over B}}$ $-$ C is meaningful.
There are two Vernier calipers both of which have 1 cm divided into 10 equal divisions on the main scale.

B.
2.87 and 2.83
C.
2.87 and 2.86
D.
2.87 and 2.87
Correct Answer: B
Explanation:
In both calipers C1 and C2, 1 cm is divided into 10 equal divisions on the main scale. Thus, 1 division on the main scale is equal to xm1 = xm2 = 1 cm/10 = 0.1 cm.
In calipers C1, 10 equal divisions on the Vernier scale are equal to 9 main scale divisions. Thus, 1 division on the Vernier scale of C1 is equal to xv1 = 9xm1/10 = 0.09 cm.
In calipers C2, 10 equal divisions on the Vernier scale are equal to 11 main scale divisions. Thus, 1 division on the Vernier scale of C2 is equal to xv2 = 11xm2/10 = 0.11 cm.
Let main scale reading be MSR and vth division of the Vernier scale coincides with mth division of the main scale (m is counted beyond MSR). The value measured by this calipers is

A.
If the pitch of the screw gauge is twice the least count of the Vernier callipers, the least count of the

B.
If the pitch of the screw gauge is twice the least count of the Vernier callipers, the least count of the

C.
If the least count of the linear scale of the screw gauge is twice the least count of the Vernier callipers,
the least count of the screw gauge is 0.01 mm.
D.
If the least count of the linear scale of the screw gauge is twice the least count of the Vernier callipers,
the least count of the screw gauge is 0.005 mm.
Correct Answer: B,C
Explanation:
In given Vernier callipers, each 1 cm is equally divided into 8 main scale divisions (MSD). Thus, 1 MSD = ${1 \over 8}$ = 0.125 cm. Further, 4 main scale divisions coincide with 5 Vernier scale divisions (VSD) i.e., 4 MSD = 5 VSD. Thus, 1 VSD = 4/5 MSD = 0.8 $\times$ 0.125 = 0.1 cm. The least count of the Vernier callipers is given by
LC = 1 MSD $-$ 1 VSD = 0.125 $-$ 0.1 = 0.025 cm.
In screw gauge, let l be the distance between two adjacent divisions on the linear scale. The pitch p of the screw gauge is the distance travelled on the linear scale when it makes one complete rotation. Since circular scale moves by two divisions on the linear scale when it makes one complete rotation, we get p = 2l. The least count of the screw gauge is defined as ratio of the pitch to the number of divisions on the circular scale (n) i.e.,

modulus of the wire is
Correct Answer: 4
Explanation:
The difference between the two measurements by Vernier scale gives elongation of the wire caused by the additional load of 2 kg. In the first measurement, main scale reading is MSR = 3.20 $\times$ 10$-$2 m and Vernier scale reading is VSR = 20. The least count of Vernier scale is LC = 1 $\times$ 10$-$5 m. Thus, the first measurement by Vernier scale is
L1 = MSR + VSR $\times$ LC
= 3.20 $\times$ 10$-$2 + 20(1 $\times$ 10$-$5)
= 3.220 $\times$ 10$-$2 m.
In the second measurement, MSR = 3.20 $\times$ 10$-$2 m and VSR = 45. Thus, the second measurement by Vernier scale is
L2 = 3.20 $\times$ 10$-$2 + 45(1 $\times$ 10$-$5)
= 3.245 $\times$ 10$-$2 m.
The elongation of the wire due to force F = 2g is
l = L2 $-$ L1 = 0.025 $\times$ 10$-$2 m.
The maximum error in the measurement of l is $\Delta$l = LC = 1 $\times$ 10$-$5 m. Young's modulus is given by Y = ${{FL} \over {lA}}$. The maximum percentage error in the measurement of Y is

Let [${\varepsilon _0}$] denote the dimensional formula of the permittivity of vacuum. If M = mass, L = length, T = time
and A = electric current, then:
Viscosity is a measure of a fluid's resistance to flow. It is defined as the ratio of shear stress to shear rate. Shear stress has dimensions of [ML-1T-2] (force per unit area), and shear rate has dimensions of [T-1] (velocity gradient). Therefore:
Thermal conductivity is a measure of a material's ability to conduct heat. It is defined as the rate of heat transfer per unit area per unit temperature gradient. Heat transfer rate has dimensions of [ML2T-3]. Area has dimensions of [L2], and temperature gradient has dimensions of [K/L]. Therefore:
The diameter of a cylinder is measured using a Vernier callipers with no zero error. It is found that the zero
of the Vernier scale lies between 5.10 cm and 5.15 cm of the main scale. The Vernier scale has 50 divisions
equivalent to 2.45 cm. The 24th division of the Vernier scale exactly coincides with one of the main scale
divisions. The diameter of the cylinder is
A.
5.112 cm
B.
5.124 cm
C.
5.136 cm
D.
5.148 cm
Correct Answer: B
Explanation:
From the given data :
One main scale division (MSD) is $ 5.15 \text{ cm} - 5.10 \text{ cm} = 0.05 \text{ cm} $.
One Vernier scale division (VSD) is $ \frac{2.45 \text{ cm}}{50} = 0.049 \text{ cm} $.
Resistance of a given wire is obtained by measuring the current flowing in it and the voltage difference
applied across it. If the percentage errors in the measurement of the current and the voltage difference
are 3% each, then error in the value of resistance of the wire is
A spectrometer gives the following reading when used to measure the angle of a prism.
Main scale reading: 58.5 degree
Vernier scale reading : 09 divisions
Given that 1 division on main scale corresponds to 0.5 degree. Total divisions on the vernier scale is 30 and match with 29 divisions of the main scale. The angle of the prism from the above data
A.
58.59 degree
B.
58.77 degree
C.
58.65 degree
D.
59 degree
Correct Answer: C
Explanation:
30 vernier scale divisions coincide with 29 main scale divisions.
Therefore 1 V.S.D = ${{29} \over {30}}$ M.S.D
Least count = 1 M.S.D - 1 V.S.D
= 1 M.S.D - ${{29} \over {30}}$ M.S.D
= ${{1} \over {30}}$ M.S.D
= ${{1} \over {30}}$ $ \times $ 0.5o
Reading of Vernier = Main Scale Reading + Vernier scale reading $ \times $ Least count
In the determination of Young's modulus $\left( {Y = {{4MLg} \over {\pi l{d^2}}}} \right)$
by using Searle's method, a wire of length L = 2 m
and diameter d = 0.5 mm is used. For a load M = 2.5 kg, an extension l = 0.25 mm in the length of the wire
is observed. Quantities d and l are measured using a screw gauge and a micrometer, respectively. They
have the same pitch of 0.5 mm. The number of divisions on their circular scale is 100. The contributions to
the maximum probable error of the Y measurement
A.
due to the errors in the measurements of d and l are the same.
B.
due to the error in the measurement of d is twice that due to the error in the measurement of l.
C.
due to the error in the measurement of l is twice that due to the error in the measurement of d.
D.
due to the error in the measurement of d is four times that due to the error in the measurement of l.
Correct Answer: A
Explanation:
To determine Young's modulus using Searle's method, we use the formula:
The quantities $d$ and $l$ are measured using a screw gauge and a micrometer, respectively, both having a pitch of 0.5 mm and 100 divisions on their circular scale. The least count, which is the smallest measurement that can be accurately read, is:
$ \text{Least count} = \frac{\text{Pitch}}{\text{Total number of divisions on the circular scale}} = \frac{0.5 \text{ mm}}{100} = 0.005 \text{ mm} $
Hence, the least count, $\Delta d$ and $\Delta l$, are both 0.005 mm.
Error in measurement of $l$ (extension length) is:
A screw gauge gives the following reading when used to measure the diameter of a wire.
Main scale reading : 0 mm
Circular scale reading : 52 divisions
Given that 1 mm on main scale corresponds to 100 divisions of the circular scale.
The diameter of wire from the above date is:
