Time intervals measured by a clock give the following readings:
\(1.25~\text{s},~1.24~\text{s}, ~1.27~\text{s},~1.21~\text{s},~1.28~\text{s}.\)
What is the percentage relative error of the observations?
1. \(2\)%
2. \(4\)%
3. \(16\)%
4. \(1.6\)%
The dimensions of \((\mu_0\varepsilon_0)^{\frac{-1}{2}}\) are:
1. \(\left[L^{-1}T\right]\)
2. \(\left[LT^{-1}\right]\)
3. \(\left[L^{{-1/2}}T^{{1/2}}\right]\)
4. \(\left[L^{{-1/2}}T^{{-1/2}}\right]\)
We measure the period of oscillation of a simple pendulum. In successive measurements, the readings turn out to be \(2.63~\text s, 2.56~\text s, 2.42~\text s, 2.71~\text s,\) and \(2.80~\text s.\) The average absolute error and percentage error, respectively, are:
1. \(0.22~\text s\) and \(4\%\)
2. \(0.11~\text s\) and \(4\%\)
3. \(4~\text s\) and \(0.11\%\)
4. \(5~\text s\) and \(0.22\%\)
\(5.74\) g of a substance occupies \(1.2~\text{cm}^3\). Its density by keeping the significant figures in view is:
1. \(4.7333~\text{g/cm}^3\)
2. \(3.8~\text{g/cm}^3\)
3. \(4.8~\text{g/cm}^3\)
4. \(3.7833~\text{g/cm}^3\)
The mean length of an object is \(5~\text{cm}.\) Which of the following measurements is the most accurate?
1. | \(4.9~\text{cm}\) | 2. | \(4.805~\text{cm}\) |
3. | \(5.25~\text{cm}\) | 4. | \(5.4~\text{cm}\) |
The numbers \(2.745\) and \(2.735\) on rounding off to \(3\) significant figures will give respectively,
1. | \(2.75\) and \(2.74\) | 2. | \(2.74\) and \(2.73\) |
3. | \(2.75\) and \(2.73\) | 4. | \(2.74\) and \(2.74\) |
The mass and volume of a body are \(4.237~\text{g }\) and \(2.5~\text{cm}^3,\) respectively. The density of the material of the body in correct significant figures will be:
1. \(1.6048~\text{g cm}^{-3}\)
2. \(1.69~\text{g cm}^{-3}\)
3. \(1.7~\text{g cm}^{-3}\)
4. \(1.695~\text{g cm}^{-3}\)
If force \([F]\), acceleration \([A]\) and time \([T]\) are chosen as the fundamental physical quantities, then find the dimensions of energy:
1. \(\left[FAT^{-1}\right]\)
2. \(\left[FA^{-1}T\right]\)
