Using screw gauge of pitch $0.1$ $cm$ and $50$ divisions on its circular scale, the thickness of an object is measured. It should correctly be recorded as
A$2.123\;cm$
B$2.125\;cm$
C$2.121\;cm$
D$2.124\;cm$

D$2.124\;cm$
d $LC =\frac{\text { pitch }}{ CSD }=\frac{0.1 cm }{50}=0.002 cm$
So any measurement will be integral
Multiple of $LC.$
will be $2.124 cm$

According to Joule's law of heating, heat produced $H = {I^2}\,Rt$, where I is current, $R$ is resistance and $t$ is time. If the errors in the measurement of $I, R$ and t are $3\%, 4\% $ and $6\% $ respectively then error in the measurement of $H$ is
If the dimensions of length are expressed as ${G^x}{c^y}{h^z}$; where $G,\,c$ and $h$ are the universal gravitational constant, speed of light and Planck's constant respectively, then
An expression for a dimensionless quantity $P$ is given by $P=\frac{\alpha}{\beta} \log _{e}\left(\frac{ kt }{\beta x }\right)$; where $\alpha$ and $\beta$ are constants, $x$ is distance ; $k$ is Boltzmann constant and $t$ is the temperature. Then the dimensions of $\alpha$ will be
The pressure on a square plate is measured by measuring the force on the plate and the length of the sides of the plate. If the maximum error in the measurement of force and length are respectively $4\%$ and $2\%$, The maximum error in the measurement of pressure is ....... $\%$
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 ............... $kg$
