One atomic mass units is equivalent to .............. $MeV$ energy.
AnswerCorrect option: D. $931.5$
d
$1\, a.m.u$ 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.

Answerd
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.

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 specially designed Vernier calliper has the main scale least count of $1 \,mm$. On the Vernier scale, there are $10$ equal divisions and they match with $11$ main scale divisions. Then, the least count of the Vernier calliper is ........... $mm$
- ✓
$0.1$
- B
$0.909$
- C
$1.1$
- D
$0.09$
Answera
(a)
Here, $10$ divisions of vernier scall $=11$ main scale divisions
So, $1$ vernier scale division $=\frac{11}{10}$ main
scale divisions
Now, we use formula for least count,
Least count $=1$ main scale division $-1$
vernier scale division.
$\Rightarrow \quad LC=1 MSD -1 VSD$
$=\left(1-\frac{11}{10}\right) MSD$
$=-\frac{1}{10} MSD$
$=-\frac{1}{10} \times 1 \,mm$
$=-0.1 \,mm$
So, magnitude of least count is $0.1 \,mm$.

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

Stokes' law states that the viscous drag force $F$ experienced by a sphere of radius $a$, moving with a speed $v$ through a fluid with coefficient of viscosity $\eta$, is given by $F=6 \pi \eta a v$. If this fluid is flowing through a cylindrical pipe of radius $r$, length $l$ and pressure difference of $p$ across its two ends, then the volume of water $V$ which flows through the pipe in time $t$ can be written as $\frac{V}{t}=k\left(\frac{p}{l}\right)^a \eta^b r^c$, where $k$ is a dimensionless constant. Correct values of $a, b$ and $c$ are

From $\frac{V}{t}=k\left(\frac{p}{l}\right)^a \eta^b r^c$,
we have
$\left[ L ^3 T ^{-1}\right]=\left[\frac{ ML ^{-1} T ^{-2}}{ L }\right]^a\left[ ML ^{-1} T ^{-1}\right]^b[ L ]^c$
Equating powers of $M , L$ and $T$, we get
$a+b=0 \Rightarrow-2 a-b+c=3$
$-2 a-b=-1$
Solving, we get $a=1, b=-1$ and $c=4$

$\frac{m_{e} \varepsilon_{0}}{c e^{2}}$
AnswerCorrect 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
$\rho=k\left(\frac{h^{2}}{m_{e} c e^{2}}\right)$

- ✓
$1205 \pm 0.34$
- D
$1205 \pm 0.40$
AnswerCorrect option: C. $1205 \pm 0.34$
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
$10.0 \pm 0.4$
AnswerCorrect 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
(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

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
$\Rightarrow -2 \times 2-\gamma=0 \Rightarrow \gamma=-4$
$\text { So, } \alpha=2, \beta=2 \text { and } \gamma=-4$

$a=1, b=-2, c=-4$
AnswerCorrect 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

$\alpha+\beta=1 \quad...(i)$
$2 \alpha+2 \beta+\gamma=0 \quad \ldots (ii)$
$-\alpha-2 \beta-\gamma=-3 \quad \ldots (iii)$
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 $\alpha=-3, \beta=4$

(a)
Dimensions of

Dimensions of $\frac{k \rho g R^2}{\sigma}=\frac{\left[k \rho g R^2\right]}{[\sigma]}$
$=\frac{\left[\frac{ M }{ L ^3}\right] \cdot\left[ LT ^{-2}\right] \cdot\left[ L ^2\right]}{\left[ MT ^{-2}\right]}$
$=\left[ M ^0 L ^0 T ^0\right]$

AnswerCorrect 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 $\frac{h}{e^2}$.

Pitch of screw gauge is $1 \mathrm{~mm}$ and it has $100$ divisions on circular scale. The diameter of the wire is $\frac{x}{50} \mathrm{~mm}$. The value of $x$ is :
Answerb
$\mathrm{MSR}=1 \mathrm{~mm}, \mathrm{CSR}=42, \text { pitch }=1 \mathrm{~mm}$
$\mathrm{LC}=\frac{\text { pitch }}{\text { No. of } \mathrm{CSD}}=\left(\frac{1}{100}\right)=0.01 \mathrm{~mm}$
$\text { Diameter }=\mathrm{MSR}+\mathrm{LC} \times \mathrm{CSD}$
$\text { Diameter }=1+(0.01) \times 42 \mathrm{~mm}$
$\text { Diameter }=1.42 \mathrm{~mm}=\frac{\mathrm{x}}{50}$
$\therefore \mathrm{x}=71$

In finding out refractive index of glass slab the following observations were made through travelling microscope $50$ vernier scale division $=$ $49 \mathrm{MSD} ; 20$ divisions on main scale in each $\mathrm{cm}$ For mark on paper
$\mathrm{MSR}=8.45 \mathrm{~cm}, \mathrm{VC}=26$
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
$1.52$
- C
$1.24$
- D
$1.35$
AnswerCorrect option: A. $1.42$
a
$1 \mathrm{MSD}=\frac{1 \mathrm{~cm}}{20}=0.05 \mathrm{~cm}$
$1 \mathrm{VSD}=\frac{49}{50} \mathrm{MSD}=\frac{49}{50} \times 0.05 \mathrm{~cm}=0.049 \mathrm{~cm}$
$\mathrm{LC}=1 \mathrm{MSD}-1 \mathrm{VSD}=0.001 \mathrm{~cm}$
$\text { For mark on paper, } \mathrm{L}_1=8.45 \mathrm{~cm}+26 \times 0.001 \mathrm{~cm} $
$=84.76 \mathrm{~mm}$
$\text { For mark on paper through slab, } \mathrm{L} 2=7.12 \mathrm{~cm}+$
$41 \times 0.001 \mathrm{~cm}=71.61 \mathrm{~mm}$
$\text { For powder particle on top surface, } \mathrm{ZE}=4.05 \mathrm{~cm}$
$+1 \times 0.001 \mathrm{~cm}=40.51 \mathrm{~mm}$
$\therefore \text { actual } \mathrm{L}_1=84.76-40.51=44.25 \mathrm{~mm}$
$\quad \text { actual } \mathrm{L} 2=71.61-40.51=31.10 \mathrm{~mm}$
$\quad \mathrm{~L}_2=\frac{\mathrm{L}_1}{\mu}$
$\Rightarrow \mu=\frac{\mathrm{L}_1}{\mathrm{~L}_2}=\frac{44.25}{31.10}=1.42$

In a vernier calliper, when both jaws touch each other, zero of the vernier scale shifts towards left and its $4^{\text {th }}$ division coincides exactly with a certain division on main scale. If $50$ vernier scale divisions equal to $49$ main scale divisions and zero error in the instrument is $0.04 \mathrm{~mm}$ then how many main scale divisions are there in $1 \mathrm{~cm}$ ?
Answerc
$4^{\text {th }}$ division coincides with $3^{\text {rd }}$ division then
$ 0.004 \mathrm{~cm}=4 \mathrm{VSD}-3 \mathrm{MSD}$
$49 \mathrm{MSD}=50 \mathrm{VSD}$
$1 \mathrm{MSD}=\frac{1}{\mathrm{~N}} \mathrm{~cm}$
$0.004=4\left\{\frac{49}{50} \mathrm{MSD}\right\}-3 \mathrm{MSD}$
$0.004=\left(\frac{196}{50}-3\right)\left(\frac{1}{\mathrm{~N}}\right)$
$\mathrm{N}=\frac{46}{50} \times \frac{1000}{4}=\frac{46 \times 1000}{200}=230$

d
$\text { Given } 9 \mathrm{MSD}=10 \mathrm{VSD}$
$\text { mass }=8.635 \mathrm{~g}$
$\mathrm{LC}=1 \mathrm{MSD}-1 \mathrm{VSD}$
$\mathrm{LC}=1 \mathrm{MSD}-\frac{9}{10} \mathrm{MSD}$
$\mathrm{LC}=\frac{1}{10} \mathrm{MSD}$
$\mathrm{LC}=0.01 \mathrm{~cm}$
$\text { Reading of diameter }=\mathrm{MSR}+\mathrm{LC} \times \mathrm{VSR}$

Least count of a vernier caliper is $\frac{1}{20 \mathrm{~N}} \mathrm{~cm}$. The value of one division on the main scale is $1 \mathrm{~mm}$. Then the number of divisions of main scale that coincide with $\mathrm{N}$ divisions of vernier scale is :
- A
$\left(\frac{2 \mathrm{~N}-1}{20 \mathrm{~N}}\right)$
- ✓
$\left(\frac{2 \mathrm{~N}-1}{2}\right)$
- C
$(2 \mathrm{~N}-1)$
- D
$\left(\frac{2 \mathrm{~N}-1}{2 \mathrm{~N}}\right)$
AnswerCorrect 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
$1 \mathrm{VSD}=\frac{\mathrm{x} \times 1 \mathrm{~mm}}{\mathrm{~N}}$
$\therefore \frac{1}{20 \mathrm{~N}} \mathrm{~cm}=1 \mathrm{~mm}-\frac{\mathrm{x} \times 1 \mathrm{~mm}}{\mathrm{~N}}$
$\frac{1}{2 \mathrm{~N}} \mathrm{~mm}=1 \mathrm{~mm}-\frac{\mathrm{x}}{\mathrm{N}} \mathrm{mm}$
$\mathrm{x}=\left(1-\frac{1}{2 \mathrm{~N}}\right) \mathrm{N}$
$\mathrm{x}=\frac{2 \mathrm{~N}-1}{2}$

The diameter of the wire is measured as $0.4\,mm$ with an uncertainty of $\pm 0.01\,mm$. The error in the measurement of Young's modulus $(\Delta Y)$ is found to be $x \times 10^{10}\,Nm ^{-2}$. The value of $x$ is
$\left[\right.$ Take $\left.g =10\,m / s ^{2}\right]$
Answerc
$L =1\,m$
$\Delta L =0.4 \times 10^{-3} m$
$m =1\,kg$
$d =0.4 \times 10^{-3}\,m$
$\frac{ F }{ A }= Y \frac{\Delta L }{ L }$
$Y =\frac{ FL }{ A \Delta L }=\frac{( mg ) \cdot(1)}{\left(\frac{\pi d ^{2}}{4}\right) 0.4 \times 10^{-3}}$
$\Rightarrow \frac{10 \times 4}{\pi\left(0.4 \times 10^{-3}\right)^{2} \times 0.4 \times 10^{-3}}$
$Y =\frac{40}{\pi\left(0.4 \times 10^{-3}\right)^{3}}$
$Y =\frac{40 \times 7}{22 \times 64 \times 10^{-3} \times 10^{-9}}$
$Y =0.199 \times 10^{-12} N / m ^{2}$
$\frac{\Delta Y }{ Y }=\frac{\Delta F }{ F }+\frac{\Delta L }{ L }+\frac{\Delta A }{ A }+\frac{\Delta(\Delta L )}{(\Delta L )}$
$=\frac{0.02}{0.4}+2 \frac{\Delta d }{ d }=\frac{0.2}{4}+2 \times \frac{0.01}{0.4}$
$=\frac{0.1}{2}+\frac{0.1}{2}=0.1$
$\Rightarrow \Delta Y =0.1 \times Y$
$=0.199 \times 10^{11}=1.99 \times 10^{10}$

The density of a material in the shape of a cube is determined by measuring three sides of the cube and its mass. If the relative errors in measuring the mass and length are respectively $1.5\%$ and $1\%$, the maximum error in determining the density is ........ $\%$
Answerb
$Density\left( d \right) = \frac{{mass\left( M \right)}}{{volume\left( V \right)}} = \frac{M}{{{L^3}}}$
$\therefore Error\,in\,density,\,\frac{{\Delta d}}{d} = \frac{{\Delta M}}{M} + \frac{{3\Delta L}}{L}$
$ = 1.5\% + 3\left( {1\% } \right) = 4.5\% $

The period of oscillation of a simple pendulum is $T=2\pi \sqrt {\frac{l}{g}} $. Measured value of $L$ is $20.0\; cm$ known to $1\; mm$ accuracy and time for $100$ oscillations of the pendulum is found to be $90\ s$ using a wrist watch of $1\; s$ resolution. The accuracy in the determination of $g$ is ........ $\%$
Answera
AS, $g = 4\,{\pi ^2}\frac{l}{{{T^2}}}$
So, $\frac{{\Delta g}}{g} \times 100 = \frac{{\Delta l}}{L} \times 100 + 2\frac{{\Delta T}}{T} \times 100$
$ = \frac{{0.1}}{{20}} \times 100 + 2 \times \frac{1}{{90}} \times 100 = 2.72 \simeq 3\% $

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.

The dimensions of a cone are measured using a scale with a least count of $2 mm$. The diameter of the base and the height are both measured to be $20.0 cm$. The maximum percentage error in the determination of the volume is. . . . .
Answerb
$V =\frac{1}{3} \pi\left(\frac{ D }{2}\right)^2 H$
$\therefore \%$ Error in $V =2(\%$ error in $D )+\%$ error in $H$.
$\because$ Least count is $2 mm$.
$\therefore \%$ error in D $=\frac{2 mm }{20 cm } \times 100 \%=1 \%$
% error in $H =\frac{2 mm }{20 cm } \times 100 \%=1 \%$
So $\%$ error in $V =2 \times 1 \%+1 \%=3 \%$

In an experiment for determination of the focal length of a thin convex lens, the distance of the object from the lens is $10 \pm 0.1 \mathrm{~cm}$ and the distance of its real image from the lens is $20 \pm 0.2 \mathrm{~cm}$. The error in the determination of focal length of the lens is $n \%$. The value of $n$ is. . . . . . .
Answera
$u=10 \pm 0.1 \mathrm{~cm}, \quad v=20 \pm 0.2 \mathrm{~cm}$
$\frac{1}{v}-\frac{1}{u}=\frac{1}{f} \Rightarrow \frac{1}{v^2} d v+\frac{1}{u^2} d u=-\frac{1}{f^2} d f$
$\frac{1}{20}+\frac{1}{10}=\frac{1}{f} \Rightarrow \frac{1}{f}=\frac{3}{20} \Rightarrow f=\frac{20}{3} \mathrm{~cm}$
$\Rightarrow \frac{1}{(20)^2}(0.2)+\frac{1}{(10)^2}(0.1)=\frac{9}{400} d f$
$\text { df }=\frac{1}{9}\left(\frac{400}{400} \times 0.2+\frac{400}{100} \times 0.1\right)$
$d f=\frac{1}{9}(0.2+0.4) \Rightarrow \mathrm{df}=\frac{0.6}{9}$
$\frac{\mathrm{df}}{\mathrm{f}}=\frac{0.6}{9} \times \frac{3}{20}=\frac{1}{100}$

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
$\therefore \frac{ df }{ f } \times 100=20\left[\frac{1 / 4}{(60)^2}+\frac{1 / 4}{(30)^2}\right] \times 100 \%$
$=5\left[\frac{1}{3600}+\frac{1}{900}\right] \times 100 \%$

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.

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
${\left[\frac{\varepsilon_0 k_B T}{q^2}\right]=\left[\frac{q^2 F r}{F r^2 q}\right]=\left[\frac{1}{r}\right]=\left[L^{-1}\right]}$
${\left[\frac{q^2}{\in_0 k_B T}\right]=[L]}$

In an experiment to determine the acceleration due to gravity $g$, the formula used for the time period of a periodic motion is $T=2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{7(R-r)}{5 g}}$. The values of $R$ and $r$ are measured to be $(60 \pm 1) \mathrm{mm}$ and $(10 \pm 1) \mathrm{mm}$, respectively. In five successive measurements, the time period is found to be $0.52 \mathrm{~s}, 0.56 \mathrm{~s}, 0.57 \mathrm{~s}, 0.54 \mathrm{~s}$ and $0.59 \mathrm{~s}$. The least count of the watch used for the measurement of time period is $0.01 \mathrm{~s}$. Which of the following statement($s$) is(are) true?
($A$) The error in the measurement of $r$ is $10 \%$
($B$) The error in the measurement of $T$ is $3.57 \%$
($C$) The error in the measurement of $T$ is $2 \%$
($D$) The error in the determined value of $g$ is $11 \%$

AnswerCorrect option: B. $A,B,D$
b
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 $g$ :
$\frac{\Delta g }{ g } \times 100=\frac{\Delta R +\Delta r }{( R - r )} \times 100+2 \frac{\Delta T _{ m }}{ T } \times 100$
$\Rightarrow \frac{\Delta g }{ g } \times 100=\frac{1+1}{(60-10)} \times 100+2(3.57) \%=11.14 \%$
Thus options $A, B$ and $D$ are correct.

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 $0.01 \ mm$.

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:
Answera
$d=k \quad(\rho)^a \quad(S)^b \quad(f)^c $

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 $\ell$.
AnswerCorrect 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

Circular scale division $=50$
Main scale reading $=2.5 \ mm$
Least count $=\frac{0.5}{50}=0.01 \ mm$

Taking long both the sides
$\log Y =\log 4 Fl -\log \pi D ^2 e$
Now, partially differentiating,
$\frac{\Delta Y }{ Y }=-\left(\frac{2 \Delta D }{ D }+\frac{\Delta e }{ e }\right)$
$\frac{\Delta Y }{ Y }=-\left(\frac{2 \times 0.01}{0.4}+\frac{0.05}{0.8}\right)$
$\frac{\Delta Y }{ Y }=-0.1125$
$\text { Also, } Y =\frac{ Fl }{ Ae }=\frac{9.8 \times 2}{\pi(0.2)^2 \times 0.8}=194.96 \times 10^9 \approx 2 \times 10^{11}$

A wire has a mass $0.3 \pm 0.003\,g$, radius $0.5 \pm 0.005\,mm$ and length $6 \pm 0.06\,cm$. The maximum percentage error in the measurement of its density is .......... $\%$
Answerd
(d) Density, $\rho = \frac{M}{V} = \frac{M}{{\pi {r^2}L}}$
$ \Rightarrow \frac{{\Delta \rho }}{\rho } = \frac{{\Delta M}}{M} + 2\frac{{\Delta r}}{r} + \frac{{\Delta L}}{L}$
$ = \frac{{0.003}}{{0.3}} + 2 \times \frac{{0.005}}{{0.5}} + \frac{{0.06}}{6}$
$ = 0.01 + 0.02 + 0.01 = 0.04$
$\therefore $ Percentage error $ = \frac{{\Delta \rho }}{\rho } \times 100 = 0.04 \times 100 = 4\% $

$[{M^0}{L^2}{T^0}]$
- B
$[{M^1}{L^2}{T^1}]$
- C
$[{M^1}{L^0}{T^{ - 1}}]$
- D
$[{M^0}{L^2}{T^{ - 1}}]$
AnswerCorrect option: A. $[{M^0}{L^2}{T^0}]$
a
(a) In given equation, $\frac{{\alpha z}}{{k\theta }}$ should be dimensionless
$\therefore \alpha = \frac{{k\theta }}{z} \Rightarrow [\alpha ] = \frac{{[M{L^2}{T^{ - 2}}{K^{ - 1}} \times K]}}{{[L]}} = [ML{T^{ - 2}}]$
and $P = \frac{\alpha }{{ \beta }} \Rightarrow [\beta ] = \left[ {\frac{\alpha }{p}} \right] = \frac{{[ML{T^{ - 2}}]}}{{[M{L^{ - 1}}{T^{ - 2}}]}} = [{M^0}{L^2}{T^0}]$.

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