A Vernier calipers has $1 \mathrm{~mm}$ marks on the main scale. It has $20$ equal divisions on the Vernier scale which match with $16$ main scale divisions. For this Vernier calipers, the least count is
Young-Laplace law states that the excess pressure inside a soap bubble of radius $R$ is given by $\Delta P=4 \sigma / R$, where $\sigma$ is the coefficient of surface tension of the soap. The EOTVOS number $E_0$ is a dimensionless number that is used to describe the shape of bubbles rising through a surrounding fluid. It is a combination of $g$, the acceleration due to gravity $\rho$ the density of the surrounding fluid $\sigma$ and a characteristic length scale $L$ which could be the radius of the bubble. A possible expression for $E_0$ is
If $P = \frac{{{A^3}}}{{{B^{5/2}}}}$ and $\Delta A$ is absolute error in $A$ and $\Delta B$ is absolute error in $B$ then absolute error $\Delta P$ in $P$ is
The length $l$, breadth b and thickness t of a block of wood were measured with the help of a measuring scale. The results with permissible errors are $l=15.12 \pm 0.01\; cm , t =5.28 \pm 0.01 \;cm$ $b =10.15 \pm 0.01\; cm$. The percentage error in volume upto proper significant figures is
$Assertion$: In the measurement of physical quantities direct and indirect methods are used.
$Reason$ : The accuracy and precision of measuring instruments along with errors in measurements should be taken into account, while expressing the result.
