Q. 1

The angle of 1' (minute of arc) in radian is nearly equal to

Q. 2

In an experiment, four quantities a, b, c and d are measured with percentage error 1%, 2%, 3% and 4%, respectively. Quantity P is calculated as follows:

P=a3b2cd,% error in P is

Q. 3

A student measured the diameter of a small steel ball using a screw gauge of least count 0.001 cm. The main scale reading is 5 mm and zero of circular scale division coincides with 25 divisions above the reference level.

If screw gauge has a zero error of -0.004 cm, the correct diameter of the ball is

Q. 4

In an experiment, the percentage of error occurred in the measurement of physical quantities A, B, C and D are 1%, 2%, 3% and 4%, respectively. The maximum percentage of error in the measurement X, where

X=A2B1/2C1/3D3 , will be

 

Q. 5

A screw gauge has least count of 0.01 mm and there are 50 divisions in its circular scale. The pitch of the screw gauge is

Q. 6

Time intervals measured by a clock give the following readings: 1.25 s, 1.24 s, 1.27 s, 1.21 s and 1.28 s 

What is the percentage relative error of the observations?

Q. 7

A screw gauge gives the following readings when used to measure the diameter of a wire

Main scale reading : 0 mm

Circular scale reading : 52 divisions

Given that 1 mm on main scale corresponds to 100 divisions on the circular scale. The diameter of the wire from the above data is

Q. 8

The errors in the measurement which arise due to unpredictable fluctuations in temperature and voltage supply are

Q. 9

A metal wire has mass (0.4±0.002) g, radius (0.3±0.001) mm and length (5±0.02) cm. The maximum possible percentage error in the measurement of density will nearly be
