From `f = (1)/(2l)sqrt((T)/(m)) , f^(2) = (T)/(4l^(2)m)`
or `m = (T)/(4l^(2)f^(2)) = ([MLT^(-2)])/(L^(2)T^(-2))= (M)/(L) = ("Mass")/("Length") =` linear mass density

A person measures two quantities as `A = 1.0 m +- 0.2 m ,B = 2.0 m +- 0.2 m` We should report correct value for `sqrt(AB)` asA. `1.4 m +- 0.4 m`B. `1.41 m +- 0.15 m`C. `1.4 m + 0.3 m`D. `1.4 m +- 0.2 m`

Answer» Correct Answer - d
Given `A = 1.0m +- 0.2m, B= 2.0 m +- 0.2 m`
Let `V = sqrt(AB) = sqrt((1.0)(2.0)) = 1.414 m`
Rounding off to two significant digit `Y = 1.4m`
`(Delta Y)/(Y) = (1)/(2)[(Delta A)/(A) + (Delta B)/(B)]`
`= (1)/(2)[(0.2)/(1.0) + (0.2)/(2.0)] = (0.6)/(2 xx 2.0)`
`rArr Delta Y = (0.6Y)/(2 xx 2.0) = (0.6 xx 1.4)/(2 xx 2.0) = 0.20`
Rounding off to one significant digit Thus currect value for
`sqrt(AB) = r + Delta r = 1.4 +- 0.2m`

Let `T prop S^(0)t^(2) rho^(2)`
by substituting the demension of `[T]= [T]`
`[S] = [ML^(-2)], [r] = [L],= [ML^(-3)]`
and by comparing the power of both the sides
`x = -1//2, y = 3//2, z= 1//2`
so`T prop sqrt(rho r^(3)//S) rArr T = k sqrt((rho r^(3))/(S))`.

`rArr [S] = [ML^(2)T^(-2)]^(x) [LT^(-1)]^(y) [T]^(z)`
`[M^(1)L^(0)T^(-2)] = [M^(x)L^(2x +y)T^(-2x -y +z)]`
`x = 1`
`2x + y = 0 rArr y = -2`
`-2x - y + z = -2`
`rArr -2 xx 1 - (-2) + z = -2`
`rArr z = -2`
Hence `[s] = [EV^(-2)T^(-2)]`

The mean length of an object is 5 cm. Which of the following measurements is most accurate?A. `4.9 cm`B. `4.805 cm`C. `5.25 cm`D. `5.4 cm`

Answer» Correct Answer - a
Given length `l= 5 cm`
Now , chacking the error with each option one by one we get
`Delta l_(1) = 5 - 4.9 = 0.1cm`
`Delta l_(2) = 5 - 4.805 = 0.195 cm`
`Delta l_(3) = 5.25 - 5 = 0.25 cm`
`Delta l_(4) = 5.4 - 5 = 0.4 cm`
Error `Delta l_(1)` is least,
Hence `4.9 cm` is most precise

Answer» Correct Answer - d
Let `m prop F^(x)V^(y)T^(z)`
By substituting the following dimension
`[F] = [MLT^(-2)],[V] = [LT^(-1)],[T]=[T]`
`M^(1)L^(0)T^(0)] = [MLT^(-1) [LT^(-1)][T]`
`rArr [M^(1)L^(0)T^(0)] = [M^(x)L^(x + y) T^(-2x -y +z)]`
`x = 1`
`x + y =0 , rArr y = -1`
` rArr -2 xx 1 - (-1) + z = 0`
`rArr z = 1`
Hence `[M] = [F^(1)V^(-1)T^(1)] = [FV^(1)T]`

In the formula `X = 3YZ^(2),X and Z` have dimensions of capacitance and magnetic induction respectively. The dimensions of `Y` in MKSQ system are ………………, ………………….A. `[M^(2)L^(-2)T^(3)Q^(4)]`B. `[M^(-3)L^(-2)T^(4)Q^(4)]`C. `[M^(-2)L^(-2)T^(4)Q^(3)]`D. `[M^(-3)L^(-1)T^(3)Q^(4)]`

Answer» Correct Answer - b
`C = (q)/(V) = (q^(2))/(W)`
`[X] rarr [C] = [M^(-1)L^(-2)T^(2)Q^(2)`
And `[B] = ([F)/(iL])`
`[Z] rarr [B] = [(MLT^(-2))/(QT^(-1)L)]= [MT^(-1)Q^(-1)]`
given `Y = (X)/(3Z^(2))`
`[T] =[(M^(-1)L^(-2)T^(2)Q^(2)])/(MT^(-1)Q^(-1))]^(2) = [M^(-3)L^(-2)T^(-4)Q^(4)]`.

Assertion: The given equation `x = x_(0) + u_(0)t + (1)/(2) at^(2)` is dimensionsally correct, where x is the distance travelled by a particle in time t , initial position `x_(0) ` initial velocity `u_(0)` and uniform acceleration a is along the direction of motion. Reason: Dimensional analysis can be used for cheking the dimensional consistency or homogenetly of the equation.A. If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explation of assertion.B. If both assertion but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.C. If assertion is true but reason is false.D. If both assertion and reason are false.

Answer» Correct Answer - a
Given equation
`x = s_(0)+ u_(0)t + (1)/(2) at^(2)`
The dimensions of each term mey be written as
`[x] = [L]`
`[x_(0)] = [L]`
`[u_(0)t]= [LT^(-1)][T]= [L]`
`[((1)/(2)) at^(2)] = [LT^(-2)][T^(2)] = [L]`
As each term on the right hand side of the equation the same dimension as left hand side of the equal hence this equation id dimensionally correct.

If `u_(1) and u_(2)` are the selected in two system of measurement and `n_(1) and n_(2)` their nomerical values, thenA. `n_(1)u_(1)=n_(2)u_(2)`B. `n_(1)u_(1)+n_(2)u_(2) = 0`C. `n_(1)n_(2)=u_(1)u_(2)`D. `(n_(1) + u_(1)) =(n_(2) + u_(2))`

Answer» Correct Answer - a
Physical quantity `(p) = "Numerical value" (n) xx "Unit" (u)`. if physical quantity remain constant then
`n = 1//u :. N_(1)u_(1) = n_(2)u_(2)`
