                   Volume of sphere (v) = 43πγ3
Percentage error in volume =3 ×Δγγ× 100 = (3 ×0.15.3)× 100

A. 1%

P=FA=Fl2, So maximum error in pressure (P)
(   ΔPP×100)max=ΔFF×100+2Δl1×100

=4%+2×2%=8%

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

A.

2%

B.

4%

C.

7%

D.

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

A. 1 ×102 cm3
B. 2 ×102 cm3
C. 1.763 ×102 cm3
D. None of these

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.

B. a = LT2, b = LT, c = L
C. a = LT2, b = L, c = T
D. a = L, b = LT, c = T2

From the principle of dimensional homogeneity [v] = [αt][α]=[LT2]. similarly [b] = [L] and [c] = [T]

x = - 12, y = 12

A. vTmgηr
B. vTηrmg
C. vTηrmg
D. vTmgrη

SOLUTION

Solution : A

By substituting dimension of each quantity in R.H.S. of option (a) we get [mgηr]=[M×LT2ML1T1×L]
=[LT1].
This option gives the dimension of velocity.

[ML2T1]=k[LT1]x[LT2]y[MLT2]z

[ML2T1]=k[MzLx+y+z Tx2y2z]
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] = [Fv3A2]
