Question 1

SOLUTION
Solution : C
Volume of sphere (v) = 43πγ3
Percentage error in volume =3 ×Δγγ× 100 = (3 ×0.15.3)× 100
Question 2
The pressure on a square plate is measured by measuring the force on the plate and the length of the sides of the plate. If the maximum error in the measurement of force and length are respectively 4% and 2%, The maximum error in the measurement of pressure is
SOLUTION
Solution : D
P=FA=Fl2, So maximum error in pressure (P)
=4%+2×2%=8%
( ΔPP×100)max=ΔFF×100+2Δl1×100
Question 3
While measuring the acceleration due to gravity by a simple pendulum, a student makes a positive error of 1% in the length of the pendulum and a negative error of 3% in the value of time period. His percentage error in the measurement of g by the relation g=4π2(lT2) will be
2%
4%
7%
10%
SOLUTION
Solution : C
Percentage error in g=(% error in l) + 2(% error in T)=1%+2(3%)=7%
Question 4
The length, breadth, and thickness of a block are given by l = 12 cm, b = 6 cm and t = 2.45 cm The volume of the block according to the idea of significant figures should be
SOLUTION
Solution : B
Volume V = l × b × t
= 12 × 6 × 2.45 = 176.4 cm3
V = 176.4 ×102 cm3
Since, the minimum number of significant figure is one in breadth, hence volume will also contain only one significant figure. Hence, V = 2 ×102 cm3.
Question 5

SOLUTION
Solution : A
Dimension of α t = [M0L0T0] ∴[α]=[T−1]
Again [v0α]= [L] so [v0]=[LT−1]
Question 6
The velocity v (in cm / sec) of a particle is given in terms of time t(in sec) by the relation v = α t + bt+c ; the dimensions of a, b and c are
SOLUTION
Solution : C
From the principle of dimensional homogeneity [v] = [αt]⇒[α]=[LT−2]. similarly [b] = [L] and [c] = [T]

Pressure =ForceArea=ML−1T−2
Stress =Restoring forceArea=ML−1T−2
Question 14
The frequency of vibration f of a mass m suspended from a spring of spring constant K is given by a relation of this type f =CmxKy; where C is a dimensionless quantity. The value of x and y are
SOLUTION
Solution : D
By putting the dimensions of each quantity both sides we get [T−1]=[M]x[MT−2]y
Now comparing the dimenstions of quantities in both sides we get x+y =0 and 2y =1
∴ x = - 12, y = 12
Question 15
A small steel ball of radius r is allowed to fall under gravity through a column of a viscous liquid of coefficient of viscosity η . After some time the velocity of the ball attains a constant value known as terminal velocity vr. The terminal velocity depends on (i) the mass of the ball m, (ii) η, (iii) r and (iv) acceleration due to gravity g . Which of the following relations is dimensionally correct
SOLUTION
Solution : A
By substituting dimension of each quantity in R.H.S. of option (a) we get [mgηr]=[M×LT−2ML−1T−1×L]
=[LT−1].
This option gives the dimension of velocity.
Question 16
If velocity v, acceleration A and force B are chosen as fundamental quantities, then the dimensional formula of angular momentum in terms of v, A and F would be
SOLUTION
Solution : B
L ∝vx AyFz⇒ L = kvxAyFz
Putting the dimenstions in the above relation
[ML2T−1]=k[LT−1]x[LT−2]y[MLT−2]z
⇒[ML2T−1]=k[MzLx+y+z T−x−2y−2z]
Comparing the pwers of M,L andT
z=1 ...(i)
x+y+z =2...(ii)
-x-2y-2z =-1 ...(iii)
On solving (i),(ii), and (iii) x=3, y=-2 ,z=1
So dimension of L in terms of v,A and f
[L] = [Fv3A−2]
