| 3. | \(163.6\pm2.6~\text{cm}^2\) | 4. | \(163.62\pm3~\text{cm}^2\) |
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. | \(4.805~\text{cm}\) |

On the basis of dimensions, decide which of the following relations for the displacement of a particle undergoing simple harmonic motion is/are not correct.
| (a) | \(y = a\sin \left(2\pi t / T\right)\) |
| (b) | \(y = a\sin(vt)\) |
| (c) | \(y = \left({\dfrac a T}\right) \sin \left({\dfrac t a}\right)\) |
| (d) | \(y = a \sqrt 2 \left(\sin \left({\dfrac {2 \pi t} T}\right) - \cos \left({\dfrac {2 \pi t} T}\right)\right)\) |
(Symbols have their usual meanings.)
Choose the correct option:
| 1. | (a), (c) |
| 2. | (a), (b) |
| 3. | (b), (c) |
| 4. | (a), (d) |
The thickness of a pencil measured by using a screw gauge (least count \(0.001\) cm) comes out to be \(0.802\) cm. The percentage error in the measurement is:
1. \(0.125 \%\)
2. \(2.43\%\)
3. \(4.12\%\)
