A force defined by $F=\alpha t^2+\beta t$ acts on a particle at a given time $t$. The factor which is dimensionless, if $\alpha$ and $\beta$ are constants, is:
  • $\alpha t / \beta$
  • B
    $\alpha \beta t$
  • C
    $\alpha \beta / t$
  • D
    $\beta t / \alpha$
Answer
Correct option: A.
$\alpha t / \beta$
a
From principle of homogeneity

${[F]=\left[\alpha t^2\right]=[\beta t]}$

${[\alpha]=\frac{[F]}{\left[t^2\right]} \text { and }[\beta]=\frac{[F]}{[t]}}$

$\therefore \quad[\alpha][t]=[\beta]$

$\therefore \quad \frac{\alpha t}{\beta}=\text { dimensionless }$

$1\, a.m.u$ is defined as $1 / 12^{\text {th }}$ of the mass of an atom of $6^{ C ^{12}}$ isotope.

It can be shown that

1 a.m.u $=1.66 \times 10^{27}\,kg$.

According to Einstein, mass energy equivalence

$E = mc ^2$

Where $m =1.66 \times 10^{-27}\, kg$

$C =3 \times 10^8\, m / sec$, we get

$E =1.49 \times 10^{-10}\, J \left(1 Mev =1.6 \times 10^{-13}\, J \right)$

$E =\frac{1.49 \times 10^{-10}\, J }{1.6 \times 10^{-13}}\,Mev$

$E =931.25\,Mev$

Hence a change in mass of $1\,a. m.u$ (called mass defect) releases an energy equal to $931 \,Mev$.

$1\,amu =931\,Mev$ is used as a standard conversion.

  • Coefficient of viscosity
Answer
Correct option: D.
Coefficient of viscosity
d
Pascal is unit of pressure, hence its dimensional formula is

$\left[M L^{-1} T^{-2}\right]$

$\therefore$ Dimensional formula of Pascal-second is $\left[M L^{-1} T^{-1}\right]$

By the formula of coefficient of viscosity, we have

$\eta=\frac{F}{A(\Delta v / \Delta z)}$

where $F$ is force, $A$ is area and $\frac{\Delta v}{\Delta z}$ is velocity gradient.

$\therefore$ Dimensions of $\eta=\frac{\left[M L T^{-2}\right]}{\left[L^{2}\right]\left[L T^{-1} / L\right]}$

$=\left[M L^{-1} T^{-1}\right]$

Hence, Pascal-second has dimensions of coefficient of viscosity.

A small steel ball of radius $r$ is allowed to fall under gravity through a column of a viscous liquid of coefficient of viscosity $\eta $. After some time the velocity of the ball attains a constant value known as terminal velocity ${v_T}$. The terminal velocity depends on $(i)$ the mass of the ball $m$, $(ii)$ $\eta $, $(iii)$ $r$ and $(iv)$ acceleration due to gravity $g$. Which of the following relations is dimensionally correct
  • ${v_T} \propto \frac{{mg}}{{\eta r}}$
  • B
    ${v_T} \propto \frac{{\eta r}}{{mg}}$
  • C
    ${v_T} \propto \eta rmg$
  • D
    ${v_T} \propto \frac{{mgr}}{\eta }$
Answer

    None of these
Answer
Correct option: A.
$T = k\sqrt {\rho {r^3}/S} $

by substituting the dimension of $[T] = [T]$

$[S] = [M{T^{ - 2}}],\,[r] = [L],\,[\rho ] = [M{L^{ - 3}}]$

and by comparing the power of both the sides

$x = - 1/2,\,y = 3/2,\,z = 1/2$

Answer
Correct option: B.
$F{v^3}{A^{ - 2}}$
b
(b) $L \propto {v^x}{A^y}{F^z}$ $ \Rightarrow $ $L = k{v^x}{A^y}{F^z}$

Putting the dimensions in the above relation

$[M{L^2}{T^{ - 1}}] = k{[L{T^{ - 1}}]^x}{[L{T^{ - 2}}]^y}{[ML{T^{ - 2}}]^z}$

$⇒$ $[M{L^2}{T^{ - 1}}] = k[{M^z}{L^{x + y + z}}{T^{ - x - 2y - 2z}}]$

Comparing the powers of $M,\,L$ and $T$

$z = 1$ …$(i)$

$x + y + z = 2$ …$(ii)$

$ - x - 2y - 2z = - 1$ …$(iii)$

On solving $(i)$, $(ii)$ and $(iii)$ $x = 3,\,y = - 2,\,z = 1$

The velocity of water waves $v$ may depend upon their wavelength $\lambda $, the density of water $\rho $ and the acceleration due to gravity $g$. The method of dimensions gives the relation between these quantities as
  • A
    ${v^2} \propto \lambda {g^{ - 1}}{\rho ^{ - 1}}$
  • B
    ${v^2} \propto g\lambda \rho $
  • ${v^2} \propto g\lambda $
  • D
    ${v^2} \propto {g^{ - 1}}{\lambda ^{ - 3}}$
Answer
Correct option: C.
${v^2} \propto g\lambda $
c
Dimension of Velocity is $LT ^{-1}$

Dimension of wavelength $\lambda$ is $L$

Dimension of acceleration due to gravity $g$ is $LT ^{-2}$

Dimension of Density of water $p$ is $ML ^{-3}$

Let $v \propto \lambda^{ a } g ^{ b } \rho^{ c }$

Using Dimensional method

$a+b-3 c=1$

$c =0$

$-2 b =-1$

$b =0.5$

Hence, $a =0.5$

$\therefore v \propto \sqrt{ g \lambda}$

$v ^{2} \propto g \lambda$

  • A
    Only numerically correct
  • B
    Only dimensionally correct
  • Both numerically and dimensionally correct
  • D
    Neither numerically nor dimensionally correct
Answer
Correct option: C.
Both numerically and dimensionally correct
c
(c) We can derive this equation from equations of motion so it is numerically correct.

${S_t}$= distance travelled in $t^{th}$ second $=\frac{{{\rm{Distance}}}}{{{\rm{time}}}} = [L{T^{ - 1}}]$

$u$ = velocity = $[L{T^{ - 1}}]$ and $\frac{1}{2}a(2t - 1) = [L{T^{ - 1}}]$

As dimensions of each term in the given equation are same, hence equation is dimensionally correct also.

$0.11$
b
(b) Average value $ = \frac{{2.63 + 2.56 + 2.42 + 2.71 + 2.80}}{5}$ $ = 2.62\,\sec $

Now $|\Delta {T_1}|\, = \,2.63 - 2.62 = 0.01$

$|\Delta {T_2}|\, = \,2.62 - 2.56 = 0.06$

$|\Delta {T_3}|\, = \,2.62 - 2.42 = 0.20$

$|\Delta {T_4}|\, = \,2.71 - 2.62 = 0.09$

$|\Delta {T_5}|\, = \,2.80 - 2.62 = 0.18$

Mean absolute error

$\Delta T = \frac{{|\Delta {T_1}| + |\Delta {T_2}| + |\Delta {T_3}| + |\Delta {T_4}| + |\Delta {T_5}|}}{5}$

Students $A, B$ and $C$ measure the length of a room using $25 \,m$ long measuring tape of least count $0.5 \,cm$, meter-scale of least count $0.1 \,cm$ and a foot-scale of least count $0.05 \,cm$, respectively. If the specified length of the room is $9.5 \,m$, then which of the following students will report the lowest relative error in the measured length?
  • Student $A$
  • B
    Student $B$
  • C
    Student $C$
  • D
    Both $B$ and $C$
Answer
Correct option: A.
Student $A$
a
$(a)$

As, relative error $=\frac{\text { deviation in measurement }}{\text { true measurement }}$

For student $A$,

$RE =\frac{0.5 \times 10^{-2}}{9.5}=0.0005$

For student $B$ the meter-scale should be used $10$ times, $\therefore RE =\frac{0.1 \times 10^{-2}}{1} \times 10=0.01$

For student $C$,

$1$ foot $=30.48 \,cm$

So, the scale should be used $31$ times.

$\therefore RE =\frac{0.05}{30.48} \times 31=0.05$

Hence, the lowest relative error $(RE)$ in measured value is for student $A$.

$(a)$ Given, power radiated $P$ is

$P=\mu_{ 0 }^{x} m^{y} \omega^{z} c^{u}$

Substituting dimensions of different physical quantities involved, we have $\left[ ML ^{2} T ^{-3}\right]=\left[ MLT ^{-2} A ^{-2}\right]^{x}\left[ L ^{2} A \right]^{y}\left[ T ^{-1}\right]^{z} \left[ LT ^{-1}\right]^{u}$

Equating powers of fundamental quantities, we have

$x=1 \ldots \text { (i) }$

$x+2 y+u =2 \ldots(ii)$

$-2 x-z-u =-3 \ldots(iii)$

$-2 x+y =0 \ldots(iv)$

From Eq. $(i)$, putting the value of $x$ in Eq. $(iv)$, we get

$\Rightarrow \quad-2 \times 1+y=0 \Rightarrow y=2 \quad \ldots(v)$

Now, from E.q. $(i)$ and $(v)$, putting the values of $x$ and $y$ in Eq. $(ii)$, we get

$\Rightarrow \quad 1+2 \times 2+u=2 \Rightarrow u=-3 \quad \ldots(vi)$

Now, again from Eqs. $(i)$ and $(vi)$, putting the values of $x$ and $u$ in Eq. $(iii)$, we get

$\Rightarrow-2 \times 1-z+3=-3 \Rightarrow z=4$

So, $x=1, y=2, z=4, u=-3$

  • B
    $\frac{\varepsilon_{0} m_{e} c e^{2}}{h}$
  • $\frac{h^{2}}{m_{e} c e^{2}}$
  • D
    $\frac{m_{e} \varepsilon_{0}}{c e^{2}}$
Answer
Correct option: C.
$\frac{h^{2}}{m_{e} c e^{2}}$
c
$(c)$ Let resistivity depends on given fundamental constants.

$\rho=h^{} m_{e}^{b} c^{c} e^{d} \varepsilon_{0}^{f}$

where, $k=$ a numeric constant.

Now, substituting dimensions of different physical constants, we have

$\left[ ML ^{3} T ^{-3} A ^{-2}\right]=k\left[[ \mathrm { ML } ^ { 2 } \mathrm { T } ^ { - 1 } ] ^ { k } \left[ M ^{b}\left[ LT ^{-1}\right]^{c}\right.\right.$

$\left.[ AT ]^{d}\left[ M ^{-1} L ^{-3} T ^{4} A ^{2}\right]^{f}\right]$

Equating dimensions, we have

$1=a+b-f$

$3=2 a+c-3 f$

$-3=-a-c+d+4 f$

$-2=d+2 f$

Solving these, we get

$a=2$

$b=-1$

$c=-1$

$d=-2$

$f=0$

So, resistivity can be expressed as

$\rho=k\left(\frac{h^{2}}{m_{e} c e^{2}}\right)$

    $1205 \pm 0.005$
  • $1205 \pm 0.34$
  • D
    $1205 \pm 0.40$
Answer
Correct option: C.

(c)

Area, $A=l \times b$

$=3.95 \times 3.05=12.05\, m ^2$

Now, $A=l \times b$

$\Rightarrow \frac{d A}{A}=\frac{d l}{l}+\frac{d b}{b}$

$\Rightarrow \Delta A=\left(\frac{\Delta l}{l}+\frac{\Delta b}{b}\right) \times A$

$=\left(\frac{0.05}{3.95}+\frac{0.05}{3.05}\right) \times 12.05$

$\approx 0.34$

So, area of floor is $A=12.05 \pm 0.34 \,m ^2$.

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
    $10.0 \pm 0.1$
  • $10.0 \pm 0.3$
  • D
    $10.0 \pm 0.4$
Answer
Correct option: C.
$10.0 \pm 0.3$
c
(c)

As, force $F=m a$

$\Rightarrow \frac{\Delta F}{F}=\frac{\Delta m}{m}+\frac{\Delta a}{a} \Rightarrow \frac{\Delta m}{m}=\frac{\Delta F}{F}-\frac{\Delta a}{a}$

$\Rightarrow \frac{\Delta m}{m}=\left(\frac{\pm 0.2}{10}\right)-\left(\frac{\pm 0.01}{1}\right)$

So, $\left(\frac{\Delta m}{m}\right)_{\max }=\frac{0.2}{10}+\frac{0.01}{1}=0.03$

Maximum error in mass occurs when error in force and acceleration are of different signs.

So, $\Delta m=0.03 \times m=0.03 \times 10 \Rightarrow \Delta m=0.3\, kg$

Hence, mass of object is $m=10 \pm 0.3 \,kg$.

(b)

Given, $A=G^\alpha M^\beta c^\gamma$

Substituting dimensions of $A, M$ and $c$, we have

$[ L ]^2=\left[\frac{ MLT ^{-2} L ^2}{ M ^2}\right]^\alpha[ M ]^\beta\left[\frac{ L }{ T }\right]^\gamma$

$\Rightarrow \quad[ L ]^2=\left[ M ^{-1} L ^3 T ^{-2}\right]^\alpha[ M ]^\beta\left[ LT ^{-1}\right]^\gamma$

$\Rightarrow \quad[ L ]^2= M ^{-\alpha+\beta} L ^{3 \alpha+\gamma} T ^{-2 \alpha-\gamma}$

Equating dimensions on both sides, we

$\text { have } \quad-\alpha+\beta=0 \quad \dots(i)$

$3 \alpha+\gamma =2 \quad \ldots(ii)$

$-2 \alpha-\gamma=0 \quad \dots(iii)$

Adding Eqs. $(ii)$ and $(iii)$, we get

$\Rightarrow \quad 3 \alpha+\gamma-2 \alpha-\gamma=2+0 \Rightarrow \alpha=2 \quad \ldots$ $(iv)$

Now, putting the value of $\alpha$ in Eq. $(i)$, we get

$\Rightarrow \quad-2+\beta=0 \Rightarrow \beta=2$

Again, putting the value of $\alpha$ in Eq. $(iii)$, we get

$\Rightarrow -2 \times 2-\gamma=0 \Rightarrow \gamma=-4$

Answer
Correct option: A.
$a=1, b=-1, c=4$
a
(a) By Stokes' law,

$F=6 \pi \eta a v$

We have, $\quad \eta=\frac{F}{6 \pi a v}$

Dimensions of viscosity index $\eta$ are

$\Rightarrow \quad[\eta]=\left[\frac{ MLT ^{-2}}{ L \cdot LT ^{-1}}\right]=\left[ ML ^{-1} T ^{-1}\right]$

Now, given relation of volume flow rate is

$\frac{V}{t}=k\left(\frac{p}{l}\right)^a \cdot \eta^b \cdot r^c$

Substituting dimensions of physical quantities and equating dimensions on both sides of equation, we have

$\frac{\left[ L ^3\right]}{[ T ]} =\left[ ML ^{-2} T ^{-2}\right]^a \cdot\left[ ML ^{-1} T ^{-1}\right]^b \cdot[ L ]^c$

$\Rightarrow\left[ M ^0 L ^3 T ^{-1}\right] =\left[ M ^{a+b} L ^{-2 a-b+c} T ^{-2 a-b}\right]$

$a+b=0 \quad \dots(i)$

$-2 a-b+c=3 \quad \dots(ii)$

$-2 a-b=-1 \quad \dots(iii)$

From Eqs. $(ii)$ and $(iii)$, we have

$c=4$

From Eqs. $(i)$ and $(iii)$, we have

$b=-1$

Substituting bin Eq. $(i)$, we have

Let $\sigma=h^\alpha k^\beta c^\gamma$, then equating dimensions of both sides, we have

$\left[ MT ^{-3} K ^{-4}\right]=\left[ ML ^2 T ^{-1}\right]^\alpha\left[ ML ^2 T ^{-2} K ^{-1}\right]^\beta\left[ LT ^{-1}\right]^\gamma$

$\alpha+\beta=1 \quad...(i)$

$2 \alpha+2 \beta+\gamma=0 \quad \ldots (ii)$

$-\alpha-2 \beta-\gamma=-3 \quad \ldots (iii)$

In Eq. $(i)$, we multiplying with $2$, we get

$2 \alpha+2 \beta=2 \ldots(iv)$

Now, subtracting Eq. $(ii)$ from Eq. $(iv)$,

we get

$2 \alpha-2 \alpha+2 \beta-2 \beta+\gamma=0-2$

$\gamma=-2$

Now, putting the value of $\gamma$ in Eq. $(iii)$, we get

$\alpha+2 \beta=5 \ldots( v )$

And solve the Eq. $(i)$ and $(v)$, we get $\alpha=-3, \beta=4$

So, $\alpha=-3, \beta=4$ and $\gamma=-2$

    $\frac{e^2}{h}$
  • $\frac{h}{e^2}$
  • C
    $\frac{h^2}{e}$
  • D
    $\frac{e}{h^2}$
Answer
Correct option: B.
$\frac{h}{e^2}$
b
(b)

Let $R_H=k h^a e^b \quad \dots(i)$

As, $R=\frac{V}{I}$

$\therefore {\left[R_H\right] } =\left[ ML ^2 T ^{-3} A ^{-2}\right]$

$\Rightarrow h =E \cdot t$

$\Rightarrow {[h] }=\left[ ML ^2 T ^{-1}\right]$

$e=I \cdot t \Rightarrow[e]=[ A \cdot T ]$

Substituting above values in Eq. $(i)$, we have

${\left[ ML ^2 T ^{-3} A ^{-2}\right] }=k\left[ ML ^2 T ^{-1}\right]^e[ AT ]^b$

$=k\left[ M ^a L ^{2 a} T ^{-a+b} A ^b\right]$

Equating dimensions, we get

$a=1 \text { and } b=-2$

Hence, $\quad R_H=k\left(\frac{h}{e^2}\right)$

So, dimensions of hall resistance are same as that of $\frac{h}{e^2}$.

  • $I$
  • B
    $II$
  • C
    $III$
  • D
    $IV$
Answer
Correct option: A.
$I$

The temperature of a metal coin is increased by $100^{\circ} C$ and its diameter increases by $0.15 \%$. Its area increases by nearly
  • A
    $0.15 \%$
  • $0.30 \%$
  • C
    $0.60 \%$
  • D
    $0.0225 \%$
Answer
Correct option: B.
$0.30 \%$
b
(b)

Percentage increase in area

$=\frac {Final \,area - Initial \,area}{Initial \,area} \times 100$

$=\frac{\pi\left(r_2^2-r_1^2\right)}{\pi r_1^2} \times 100$

$=\frac{\left(r_1+\Delta r\right)^2-r_1^2}{r_1^2} \times 100$

where, $\Delta r=$ increase in radius.

$=\left(\frac{r_1^2+2 r_1 \Delta r+\Delta r^2-r_1^2}{r_1^2}\right) \times 100$

$=\frac{2 r_1 \Delta r+\Delta r^2}{r_1^2} \times 100$

As $\Delta r$ is small, we can neglect $\Delta r^2$.

$\approx \frac{2 r_1 \Delta r}{r_1^2}=100$

$=2(\frac{\Delta r}{r_1} \times 100)$

$=2 \times 0.15 \%=0.30 \%$

$\mathrm{MSR}=8.45 \mathrm{~cm}, \mathrm{VC}=26$

For mark on paper seen through slab

$\mathrm{MSR}=7.12 \mathrm{~cm}, \mathrm{VC}=41$

For powder particle on the top surface of the glass slab

$\mathrm{MSR}=4.05 \mathrm{~cm}, \mathrm{VC}=1$

$(\mathrm{MSR}=$ Main Scale Reading, $\mathrm{VC}=$ Vernier Coincidence)

Refractive index of the glass slab is:

  • $1.42$
  • B

  • $\left(\frac{2 \mathrm{~N}-1}{2}\right)$
  • C
    $(2 \mathrm{~N}-1)$
  • D
    $\left(\frac{2 \mathrm{~N}-1}{2 \mathrm{~N}}\right)$
Answer
Correct option: B.
$\left(\frac{2 \mathrm{~N}-1}{2}\right)$
b
Least count of vernier calipers $=\frac{1}{20 \mathrm{~N}} \mathrm{~cm}$

$\because$ Least count$=1 \mathrm{MSD}-1 \mathrm{VSD}$

let $\mathrm{x}$ no. of divisions of main scale coincides with $\mathrm{N}$ division of vernier scale, then

$1 \mathrm{VSD}=\frac{\mathrm{x} \times 1 \mathrm{~mm}}{\mathrm{~N}}$

$\therefore \frac{1}{20 \mathrm{~N}} \mathrm{~cm}=1 \mathrm{~mm}-\frac{\mathrm{x} \times 1 \mathrm{~mm}}{\mathrm{~N}}$

$\frac{1}{2 \mathrm{~N}} \mathrm{~mm}=1 \mathrm{~mm}-\frac{\mathrm{x}}{\mathrm{N}} \mathrm{mm}$

$\mathrm{x}=\left(1-\frac{1}{2 \mathrm{~N}}\right) \mathrm{N}$

  • $\frac{1}{2}, \frac{1}{2}, 0$
  • B
    $1,1,0$
  • C
    $1,-1,0$
  • D
    $\frac{1}{2}, 0, \frac{1}{2}$
Answer
Correct option: A.
$\frac{1}{2}, \frac{1}{2}, 0$
a
$v=\lambda^a g^b \rho^c$

using dimension formula

$\Rightarrow\left[ M ^0 L ^1 T ^{-1}\right]=\left[ L ^1\right]^{ a }\left[ L ^1 T ^{-2}\right]^{ b }\left[ M ^1 L ^{-3}\right]^{ c }$

$\Rightarrow\left[ M ^0 L ^1 T ^{-1}\right]=\left[ M ^{ c } L ^{ a + b -3 c } T ^{-2 b}\right]$

$\therefore c =0, a + b -3 c =1,-2 b =-1 \Rightarrow b =\frac{1}{2}$

Now $a+b-3 c=1$

$\Rightarrow a+\frac{1}{2}-0=1$

$\Rightarrow a=\frac{1}{2}$

$\therefore a=\frac{1}{2}, b=\frac{1}{2}, c=0$

$T=2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{\ell}{g}} \Rightarrow g=\frac{4 \pi^{2} \ell}{T^{2}}$

$\frac{\Delta g}{g}=\frac{\Delta \ell}{\ell}+\frac{2 \Delta T}{T}$

$\Delta T=\frac{\text { least count of time }\left(\Delta T_{0}\right)}{\text { number of oscillations(n) }}$

$\frac{\Delta g}{g}=\frac{\Delta \ell}{\ell}+\frac{2 \Delta T_{0}}{n T}$

As $\Delta \ell$ and $\Delta T_{0}$ same for all observations so $\frac{\Delta g}{g}$ is minimum for highest value of,$n$ and $T$

A beaker contains a fluid of density $\rho \, kg / m^3$, specific heat $S\, J / kg\,^oC$ and viscosity $\eta $. The beaker is filled upto height $h$. To estimate the rate of heat transfer per unit area $(Q / A)$ by convection when beaker is put on a hot plate, a student proposes that it should depend on $\eta \,,\,\left( {\frac{{S\Delta \theta }}{h}} \right)$ and $\left( {\frac{1}{{\rho g}}} \right)$ when $\Delta \theta $ (in $^oC$) is the difference in the temperature between the bottom and top of the fluid. In that situation the correct option for $(Q / A)$ is
  • A
    $\,\eta \cdot \left( {\frac{{S\Delta \theta }}{h}} \right)\left( {\frac{1}{{\rho g}}} \right)$
  • B

  • $\eta \,\frac{{S\Delta \theta }}{h}$
Answer
Correct option: D.
$\eta \,\frac{{S\Delta \theta }}{h}$

  • A
    $\left( {\frac{h}{{m{e^2}}}} \right)$
  • B
    $\left( {\frac{{hc}}{{m{e^2}}}} \right)$
  • $\left( {\frac{h}{{c{e^2}}}} \right)$
  • D
    $\left( {\frac{{m{c^2}}}{{h{e^2}}}} \right)$
Answer
Correct option: C.
$\left( {\frac{h}{{c{e^2}}}} \right)$
c
Let $\mu_{0}$ related with $e, m, c$ and $h$ as follows.

$\mu_{0}=k e^{a} m^{b} c^{c} h^{d}$

${\left[M L T^{-2} A^{-2}\right]=[A T]^{a}[M]^{b}\left[L T^{-1}\right]^{c}\left[M L^{2} T^{-1}\right]^{d}}$

$=\left[M^{b+d} L^{c+2 d} T^{a-c-d} A^{a}\right]$

On comparingboth sides we get

$a=-2 \quad \ldots(i)$

$b+d=1 \ldots(i i)$

$c+2 d=1 \ldots(i i i)$

$a-c-d=-2 \ldots(i v)$

By equations $(i),(i i),(i i i)$ and $(i v)$ we get,

$a=-2, b=0, c=-1, d=1$

$\left[\mu_{0}\right]=\left[\frac{h}{c e^{2}}\right]$

Here, $T=2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{L}{g}}$ or $T^{2}=4 \pi^{2}(L / g)$

So, $g=\frac{4 \pi^{2} L}{T^{2}}$

Thus, $\frac{\Delta g}{g}=\frac{\Delta L}{L}+2 \frac{\Delta T}{T}$

% error in $g=\frac{\Delta g}{g} \times 100$

Sometimes it is convenient to construct a system of units so that all quantities can be expressed in terms of only one physical quantity. In one such system, dimensions of different quantities are given in terms of a quantity $X$ as follows: [position $]=\left[X^\alpha\right] ;[$ speed $]=\left[X^\beta\right]$; [acceleration $]=\left[X^{ p }\right]$; [linear momentum $]=\left[X^{ q }\right]$; [force $]=\left[X^{ I }\right]$. Then -

$(A)$ $\alpha+p=2 \beta$

$(B)$ $p+q-r=\beta$

$(C)$ $p-q+r=\alpha$

$(D)$ $p+q+r=\beta$

Given $L =x^\alpha$     $. . . . . . (1)$

$LT ^{-1}=x^\beta$        $. . . . . . (2)$

$LT ^{-2}=x^{ p }$          $. . . . . . (3)$

$MLT ^{-1}=x^q$           $. . . . . . (4)$

$MLT ^{-2}=x^{ I }V$     $. . . . . . (5)$

$\quad \frac{(1)}{(2)} \Rightarrow T =x^{\alpha-\beta}$

From $(3)$

$\frac{ x ^\alpha}{ x ^{2(\alpha-\beta)}}= x ^{ p }$

$\Rightarrow \alpha+ p =2 \beta$

From $(4)$

$M=x^{q-\beta}$

From $(5)$ $\Rightarrow x ^{ q }= x ^{ T } x ^{\alpha-\beta}$

$\Rightarrow \alpha+ r - q =\beta$

Replacing value ' $\alpha$ ' in equation $(6)$ from $(A)$

$2 \beta- p + r - q =\beta$

$\Rightarrow  p + q - r =\beta$

Replacing value of ' $\beta$ ' in equation $(6)$ from $(A)$

$2 \alpha+2 r-2 q=\alpha+p$

$\alpha=p+2 q-2 r$

An optical bench has $1.5 m$ long scale having four equal divisions in each $cm$. While measuring the focal length of a convex lens, the lens is kept at $75 cm$ mark of the scale and the object pin is kept at $45 cm$ mark. The image of the object pin on the other side of the lens overlaps with image pin that is kept at $135 cm$ mark. In this experiment, the percentage error in the measurement of the focal length of the lens is. . . . .
  • $0.69$
  • B
    $0.75$
  • C
    $0.80$
  • D
    $0.85$
Answer
Correct option: A.
$0.69$
a
For the given lens

$u =-30 cm$

$v =60 cm$

$\& \frac{1}{ f }=\frac{1}{ v }-\frac{1}{ u }$ on solving $: f =20 cm$

also $\frac{1}{ f }=\frac{1}{ v }-\frac{1}{ u }$

on differentiation

$\frac{d f}{f^2}=\frac{d v}{v^2}+\frac{d u}{u^2}$

$\frac{d f}{f}=f\left[\frac{d v}{v^2}+\frac{d u}{u^2}\right]$

$\& \frac{d f}{f} \times 100=f\left[\frac{d v}{v^2}+\frac{d u}{u^2}\right] \times 100 \%$

$f=20 cm , d u=d v=\frac{1}{4} cm$

Since there are $4$ divisions in $1 cm$ on scale

$\therefore \frac{ df }{ f } \times 100=20\left[\frac{1 / 4}{(60)^2}+\frac{1 / 4}{(30)^2}\right] \times 100 \%$

$=5\left[\frac{1}{3600}+\frac{1}{900}\right] \times 100 \%$

$=5\left[\frac{5}{36}\right] \%=\frac{25}{36} \% \approx 0.69 \%$

If the measurement errors in all the independent quantities are known, then it is possible to determine the error in any dependent quantity. This is done by the use of series expansion and truncating the expansion at the first power of the error. For example, consider the relation $z=x / y$. If the errors in $x, y$ and $z$ are $\Delta x, \Delta y$ and $\Delta z$, respectively, then

$\mathrm{z} \pm \Delta \mathrm{z}=\frac{\mathrm{x} \pm \Delta \mathrm{x}}{\mathrm{y} \pm \Delta \mathrm{y}}=\frac{\mathrm{x}}{\mathrm{y}}\left(1 \pm \frac{\Delta \mathrm{x}}{\mathrm{x}}\right)\left(1 \pm \frac{\Delta \mathrm{y}}{\mathrm{y}}\right)^{-1} .$

The series expansion for $\left(1 \pm \frac{\Delta y}{y}\right)^{-1}$, to first power in $\Delta y / y$, is $1 \mp(\Delta y / y)$. The relative errors in independent variables are always added. So the error in $\mathrm{z}$ will be $\Delta \mathrm{z}=\mathrm{z}\left(\frac{\Delta \mathrm{x}}{\mathrm{x}}+\frac{\Delta \mathrm{y}}{\mathrm{y}}\right)$.

The above derivation makes the assumption that $\Delta x / x<<1, \Delta \mathrm{y} / \mathrm{y} \ll<1$. Therefore, the higher powers of these quantities are neglected.

($1$) Consider the ratio $\mathrm{r}=\frac{(1-\mathrm{a})}{(1+\mathrm{a})}$ to be determined by measuring a dimensionless quantity a.

If the error in the measurement of $\mathrm{a}$ is $\Delta \mathrm{a}(\Delta \mathrm{a} / \mathrm{a} \ll<1)$, then what is the error $\Delta \mathrm{r}$ in

$(A)$ $\frac{\Delta \mathrm{a}}{(1+\mathrm{a})^2}$ $(B)$ $\frac{2 \Delta \mathrm{a}}{(1+\mathrm{a})^2}$ $(C)$ $\frac{2 \Delta \mathrm{a}}{\left(1-\mathrm{a}^2\right)}$ $(D)$ $\frac{2 \mathrm{a} \Delta \mathrm{a}}{\left(1-\mathrm{a}^2\right)}$

($2$) In an experiment the initial number of radioactive nuclei is $3000$ . It is found that $1000 \pm$ $40$ nuclei decayed in the first $1.0 \mathrm{~s}$. For $|\mathrm{x}| \ll 1$, In $(1+\mathrm{x})=\mathrm{x}$ up to first power in $x$. The error $\Delta \lambda$, in the determination of the decay constant $\lambda$, in $\mathrm{s}^{-1}$, is

$\frac{\Delta \mathrm{r}}{\mathrm{r}}=\frac{\Delta(1-\mathrm{a})}{(1-\mathrm{a})}+\frac{\Delta(1+\mathrm{a})}{(1+\mathrm{a})}$

$\frac{\Delta \mathrm{r}}{\mathrm{r}}=\frac{\Delta \mathrm{a}}{1-\mathrm{a}}+\frac{\Delta \mathrm{a}}{1+\mathrm{a}}$

$\frac{\Delta \mathrm{r}}{\mathrm{r}}=\frac{2 \Delta \mathrm{a}}{(1-\mathrm{a})(1+\mathrm{a})}$

$\Delta \mathrm{r}=\frac{2(\Delta \mathrm{a})}{(1-\mathrm{a})(1+\mathrm{a})} \times \frac{1-\mathrm{a}}{1+\mathrm{a}}$

$\Delta \mathrm{r}=\frac{2 \Delta \mathrm{a}}{(1+\mathrm{a})^2}$

($2$) $\mathrm{N}=\mathrm{N}_0 \mathrm{e}^{-\lambda \mathrm{t}}$

$\ell \mathrm{nN}=\ell \mathrm{nN}_0-\lambda \mathrm{t}$

Differentiate both sides.

$\frac{\mathrm{dN}}{\mathrm{N}}=-\mathrm{d} \lambda \cdot \mathrm{t}$

If the measurement errors in all the independent quantities are known, then it is possible to determine the error in any dependent quantity.

If the errors in $x, y$ and $z$ are $\Delta x, \Delta y$ and $\Delta z$, respectively, then

$z \pm \Delta z=\frac{x \pm \Delta x}{y \pm \Delta y}=\frac{x}{y}\left(1 \pm \frac{\Delta x}{x}\right)\left(1 \pm \frac{\Delta y}{y}\right)^{-1} .$

The series expansion for $\left(1 \pm \frac{\Delta y}{y}\right)^{-1}$, to first power in $\Delta y / y$, is $1 \mp(\Delta y / y)$. The relative errors in independent variables are always added. So the error in $z$ will be $\Delta z=z\left(\frac{\Delta x}{x}+\frac{\Delta y}{y}\right)$.

Answer
Correct option: D.
$B,D$
d
The correct options are

$B I=\sqrt{\left(\frac{\in k_{ B } T}{n q^2}\right)}$

$D I=\sqrt{\left(\frac{q^2}{ en ^{1 / 3} k_B T}\right)}$

As given condition $\rightarrow$

$1 \propto \in k_B T$ and $l \propto \frac{1}{q^2}$

So, finding the dimension of the function

${\left[\frac{\varepsilon_0 k_B T}{q^2}\right]=\left[\frac{q^2 F r}{F r^2 q}\right]=\left[\frac{1}{r}\right]=\left[L^{-1}\right]}$

${\left[\frac{q^2}{\in_0 k_B T}\right]=[L]}$

For option $A :\left[\sqrt{\frac{n q^2}{\varepsilon_0 k _{ B } T}}\right]=\left[\sqrt{ L ^{-3} L}\right]=\left[L^{-1}\right]$

For option $B :\left[\sqrt{\frac{\varepsilon_0 k _{ B } T}{ nq ^2}}\right]=\left[\sqrt{\frac{ L ^{-1}}{L^{-3}}}\right]=[ L ]$

For option C: $\left[\sqrt{\frac{ q ^2}{\varepsilon_0 K_{ B } T n^2}}\right]=\left[\sqrt{\frac{ L }{ L ^{-2}}}\right]=\left[ L ^{3 / 2}\right]$

For option D: $\left[\sqrt{\frac{q^2}{\varepsilon_0 K_{ B } n ^2}}\right]=\left[\sqrt{\frac{L}{L^{-1}}}\right]=[L]$

Hence, answer $B$ and $D$ matches correctly.

The observed values of time period, $T _{ i }=0.52 s, 0.56 s, 0.57 s, 0.54 s$ and $0.59$ s

The mean value of time period, $T =\frac{\sum T _{ i }}{5}=\frac{2.78}{5}=0.56 s$

Magnitude of absolute error in each observation,

$\left|\Delta T _1\right|=|0.56-0.52|=|0.04| s$

Similarly, $\left|\Delta T _2\right|=|0.0| s \left|\Delta T _3\right|=|0.01| s \left|\Delta T _4\right|=|0.02| s \left|\Delta T _5\right|=|0.03| s$

Mean absolute error in time period,

$\Delta T _{ m }=\frac{0.04+0.00+0.01+0.02+0.03}{5}=0.02 s$

$\therefore$ Error in $T , \frac{\Delta T _{ m }}{ T } \times 100=\frac{0.02}{0.56} \times 100=3.57 \%$

Error in the measurement of $r : \frac{\Delta r }{ r } \times 100=\frac{1}{10} \times 100=10 \%$

From the equation given, we get: $g =\frac{28 \pi^2( R - r )}{5 T^2}$

$\therefore$ Error in the measurement of $g$ :

$\frac{\Delta g }{ g } \times 100=\frac{\Delta R +\Delta r }{( R - r )} \times 100+2 \frac{\Delta T _{ m }}{ T } \times 100$

$\Rightarrow \frac{\Delta g }{ g } \times 100=\frac{1+1}{(60-10)} \times 100+2(3.57) \%=11.14 \%$

Consider a Vernier callipers in which each $1 \ cm$ on the main scale is divided into $8$ equal divisions and a screw gauge with $100$ divisions on its circular scale. In the Vernier callipers, $5$ divisions of the Vernier scale coincide with $4$ divisions on the main scale and in the screw gauge, one complete rotation of the circular scale moves it by two divisions on the linear scale. Then:

$(A)$ If the pitch of the screw gauge is twice the least count of the Vernier callipers, the least count of the screw gauge is $0.01 \ mm$.

$(B)$ If the pitch of the screw gauge is twice the least count of the Vernier callipers, the least count of the screw gauge is $0.005 \ mm$.

$(C)$ If the least count of the linear scale of the screw gauge is twice the least count of the Vernier callipers, the least count of the screw gauge is $0.01 \ mm$.

$(D)$ If the least count of the linear scale of the screw gauge is twice the least count of the Vernier callipers, the least count of the screw gauge is $0.005 \ mm$.

  • A
    $(A,D)$
  • B
    $(B,D)$
  • $(B,C)$
  • D
    $(C,D)$
Answer
Correct option: C.
$(B,C)$
c
For vernier callipers, $1$ main scale division $=\frac{1}{8} cm$ $1$ vernier scale division $=\frac{1}{10} cm$

So least count $=\frac{1}{40} cm$

For screw gauge, pitch $(p)=2$ main scale division

So least count $=\frac{ p }{100}$

So option $(B)$ and $(C)$ are correct.

In the determination of Young's modulus $\left(Y=\frac{4 MLg }{\pi / d ^2}\right)$ by using Searle's method, a wire of length $L=2 \ m$ and diameter $d =0.5 \ mm$ is used. For a load $M =2.5 \ kg$, an extension $\ell=0.25 \ mm$ in the length of the wire is observed. Quantities $d$ and $\ell$ are measured using a screw gauge and a micrometer, respectively. They have the same pitch of $0.5 \ mm$. The number of divisions on their circular scale is $100$ . The contributions to the maximum probable error of the $Y$ measurement
  • due to the errors in the measurements of $d$ and $\ell$ are the same.
  • B
    due to the error in the measurement of $d$ is twice that due to the error in the measurement of $\ell$.
  • C
    due to the error in the measurement of $\ell$ is twice that due to the error in the measurement of $d$.
  • D
    due to the error in the measurement of $d$ is four time that due to the error in the measurement of $\ell$.
Answer
Correct option: A.
due to the errors in the measurements of $d$ and $\ell$ are the same.
a
$\Delta d=\Delta \ell=\frac{0.5}{100} \ mm$

$y =\frac{4 MLg }{\pi \ell d ^2} $

$\left(\frac{\Delta y }{ y }\right)_{\max }=\frac{\Delta \ell}{\ell}+2 \frac{\Delta d }{ d }$

error due to $\ell$ measurement $\frac{\Delta \ell}{\ell}=\frac{0.5 / 100 mm }{0.25 mm }$

error due to d measurement $2 \frac{\Delta d}{d}=\frac{2 \times \frac{0.5}{100}}{0.5 mm }=\frac{0.5 / 100}{0.25}$

So error in y due to $\ell$ measurement $=$ error in $y$ due to $d$ measurement

Given

Screw gauge readings

Pitch $=0.5 \ mm$

Circular scale division $=50$

Main scale reading $=2.5 \ mm$

Least count $=\frac{0.5}{50}=0.01 \ mm$

Circular scale division reading $=2$ odivisions

Relative error $=2 \%$

So,

Then dimensions reading from screw gauge $=$ Diameter of a solid ball

S.G. Reading $=$ main scale reading $+\left(\frac{\text { pitch }}{\text { circular scale division }}\right) \times$ circular scale division reading

$\text { Diameter of solid ball }=2.5+\frac{0.5}{50} \times 20=2.7 \ mm$

As density $\rho=\frac{\text { mass }}{\text { Volume }}=\frac{M}{\frac{4 \pi}{3}\left(\frac{D}{2}\right)^3}$

The relative percentage error in the density is

$\frac{\Delta \rho}{\rho} \times 100=\left(\frac{\Delta M }{ M }+\frac{3 \Delta D }{ D }\right) \times 100$

$\% \text { error }=\left(\frac{\Delta M }{ M } \times 100+\frac{3 \Delta D }{ D }\right) \times 100$

$=\left(2+3 \times \frac{0.01}{2.7}\right) \times 100$

$Y =\frac{4 Fl }{\pi D ^2 e }$

Taking long both the sides

$\log Y =\log 4 Fl -\log \pi D ^2 e$

Now, partially differentiating,

$\frac{\Delta Y }{ Y }=-\left(\frac{2 \Delta D }{ D }+\frac{\Delta e }{ e }\right)$

$\frac{\Delta Y }{ Y }=-\left(\frac{2 \times 0.01}{0.4}+\frac{0.05}{0.8}\right)$

$\frac{\Delta Y }{ Y }=-0.1125$

$\text { Also, } Y =\frac{ Fl }{ Ae }=\frac{9.8 \times 2}{\pi(0.2)^2 \times 0.8}=194.96 \times 10^9 \approx 2 \times 10^{11}$

$\Delta Y =- Y \times\left(\frac{2 \Delta r }{ r }+\frac{\Delta e }{ e }\right)$

$\Delta Y =0.225 \times 10^{11}$

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
  • A
    $x = \frac{1}{2},\,\,y = \frac{1}{2}$
  • B
    $x = \frac{1}{2},\,\,z = \frac{1}{2}$
  • C
    $y = - \frac{3}{2},\,\,z = \frac{1}{2}$
  • $(b)$ and $(c)$ both
Answer
Correct option: D.
$(b)$ and $(c)$ both
d
(d) Length $\propto$ $G^{x}c^{y}h^{z}$

$L= {[{M^{ - 1}}{L^3}{T^{ - 2}}]^x}\,$${[L{T^{ - 1}}]^y}{[M{L^2}{T^{ - 1}}]^z}$

By comparing the power of $M, L$ and $T$ in both sides we get $ - x + z = 0$, $3x + y + 2z = 1$ and $ - 2x - y - z = 0$

By solving above three equations we get

$x = \frac{1}{2},\,y = - \frac{3}{2},z = \frac{1}{2}$
