The amount of heat energy $Q$, used to heat up a substance depends on its mass $m$, its specific heat capacity $(s)$ and the change in temperature $\Delta T$ of the substance. Using dimensional method, find the expression for $s$ is (Given that $\left.[s]=\left[ L ^2 T ^{-2} K ^{-1}\right]\right)$ is
A$Q m \Delta T$
B$\frac{Q}{m \Delta T}$
C$\frac{Q m}{\Delta T}$
D$\frac{m}{Q \Delta T}$

B$\frac{Q}{m \Delta T}$
b (b)
$Q=m^a s^b \theta^c$
$\left[ ML ^2 T ^{-2}\right]=\left[ M ^2\right]\left[ L ^{2 b} T ^{-2 b} K ^{-b}\right]\left[ K ^{ C }\right]$
$\Rightarrow a=1$,
$2 b=2 \Rightarrow b=1$
$-b+c=0$
$\Rightarrow b=c \Rightarrow c=1$
$Q=m s \Delta T$
$\Rightarrow s=\frac{Q}{m \Delta T}$

A student measured the diameter of a wire using a screw gauge with the least count $0.001\, cm$ and listed the measurements. The measured value should be recorded as
The mean time period of second's pendulum is $2.00s$ and mean absolute error in the time period is $0.05s$. To express maximum estimate of error, the time period should be written as
