Question
What is the difference between nm, mN and Nm?
✓
Answer
nm stands for nanometre, 1nm = 10-9m, mN stands for milli-newton,
1 mN = 10-3N, Nm stands for newton metre.
1 mN = 10-3N, Nm stands for newton metre.

For any arbitrary motion in space, which of the following relations are true?
(a) $\vec{v}_{\text {avg }}=(1 / 2)\left[\vec{v}\left(t_1\right)+\vec{v}\left(t_2\right)\right]$
(b) $\vec{v}_{ avg }=\left[\vec{r}\left(t_2\right)-\vec{r}\left(t_1\right)\right] /\left(t_2-t_1\right)$
(c) $\vec{v}(t)=\vec{v}(0)+\vec{a} t$
(d) $\vec{r}( t )=\vec{r}(0)+\vec{v}(0) t+(1 / 2) \vec{a} t^2$
(e) $\vec{a}_{\text {avg }}=\left[\vec{v}\left(t_2\right)-\vec{v}\left(t_1\right)\right] /\left(t_2-t_1\right)$
Here, 'average' means the average values of physical quantities related to the time interval $t_2$ and $t_1$.

The length of the string of a simple pendulum is measured with a metre scale to be 90.0cm. The radius of the bob plus the length of the hook is calculated to be 2.13cm using measurements with a slide callipers. What is the effective length of the pendulum? (The effective length is defined as the distance between the point of suspension and the centre of the bob.)
