Measurement of Physical Quantity All engineering phenomena deal with definite and measured quantities and so depend on the making of the measurement. We must be clear and precise in making these measurements. To make a measurement, magnitude of the physical quantity (unknown) is compared. The record of a measurement consists of three parts, i.e. the dimension of the quantity, the unit which represents a standard quantity and a number which is the ratio of the measured quantity to the standard quantity.

Show that the magnetic field at a point due to a magnetic dipole is perpendicular to the magnetic axis if the line joining the point with the centre of the dipole makes an angle of $\tan^{-1}(\sqrt{2})$ with the magnetic axis.
Two bodies of masses 10 kg and 20 kg respectively kept on a smooth, horizontal surface are tied to the ends of a light string. A horizontal force F = 600 N is applied to (i) A, (ii) B along the direction of string. What is the tension in the string in each case?
The plate resistance and amplification factor of a triode are $10\text{k}\Omega$ and 20. The tube is operated at plate voltage 250V and grid voltage -7.5V. The plate current is 10mA. (a) To what value should the grid voltage be changed so as to increase the plate current to 15mA? (b) To what value should the plate voltage be changed to take the plate current back to 10mA?
The weight Mg of an extended body is generally shown in a diagram to act through the centre of mass. Does it mean that the earth does not attract other particles?
The US athlete Florence Griffith-Joyner won the 100m sprint gold medal at Seol Olympic 1988 setting a new Olympic record of 10.54s. Assume that she achieved her maximum speed in a very short-time and then ran the race with that speed till she crossed the line. Take her mass to be 50kg.
  1. Calculate the kinetic energy of Griffith-Joyner at her full speed.
  2. Assuming that the track, the wind etc. offered an average resistance of one tenth of her weight, calculate the work done by the resistance during the run.
  3. What power GriffithJoyner had to exert to maintain uniform speed?
A diode value is connected to a battery and a load resistance. The filament is heated, so that a constant current is obtained in the circuit. As the cathode continuously emits electrons, does it become more and more positively charged?
Consider a gravity-free hall in which an experimenter of mass 50kg is resting on a 5kg pillow, 8ft above the floor of the hall. He pushes the pillow down so that it starts falling at a speed of 8ft/s. The pillow makes a perfectly elastic collision with the floor, rebounds and reaches the experimenter's head. Find the time elapsed in the process.
