In an experiment, mass of an object is measured by applying a known force on it, and then measuring its acceleration. If in the experiment, the measured values of applied force and the measured acceleration are $F=10.0 \pm 0.2 \,N$ and $a=1.00 \pm 0.01 \,m / s ^2$, respectively. Then, the mass of the object is ............... $kg$
  • A$10.0$
  • B$10.0 \pm 0.1$
  • C$10.0 \pm 0.3$
  • D$10.0 \pm 0.4$

    To find the distance $d$ over which a signal can be seen clearly in foggy conditions, a railways engineer uses dimensional analysis and assumes that the distance depends on the mass density $\rho$ of the fog, intensity (power/area) $S$ of the light from the signal and its frequency $f$. The engineer find that $d$ is proportional to $S ^{1 / n}$. The value of $n$ is:
