If \(x=10.0\pm0.1\) and \(y=10\pm0.1\), then \(2x-2y\) with consideration of significant figures is equal to:
1. zero
2. \(0.0\pm0.1\)
3. \(0.0\pm0.2\)
4. \(0.0\pm0.4\)
The number of significant figures in \(0.0006032~\text m^2\) is:
| 1. | \(4 \) | 2. | \(5\) |
| 3. | \(7\) | 4. | \(3\) |
A screw gauge has the least count of \(0.01~\text{mm}\) and there are \(50\) divisions in its circular scale. The pitch of the screw gauge is:
| 1. | \(0.25~\text{mm}\) | 2. | \(0.5~\text{mm}\) |
| 3. | \(1.0~\text{mm}\) | 4. | \(0.01~\text{mm}\) |
If \({x}=\dfrac{{a} \sin \theta+{b} \cos \theta}{{a}+{b}},\) then:
| 1. | the dimensions of \(x\) and \(a\) must be the same |
| 2. | the dimensions of \(a\) and \(b\) are not the same |
| 3. | \(x\) is dimensionless |
| 4. | none of the above |
A thin wire has a length of \(21.7~\text{cm}\) and a radius of \(0.46~\text{mm}\). The volume of the wire to correct significant figures is:
| 1. | \( 0.15~ \text{cm}^3 \) | 2. | \( 0.1443~ \text{cm}^3 \) |
| 3. | \( 0.14~ \text{cm}^3 \) | 4. | \( 0.144 ~\text{cm}^3\) |
The thickness of a pencil measured by using a screw gauge (least count \(0.001\) cm) comes out to be \(0.802\) cm. The percentage error in the measurement is:
1. \(0.125 \%\)
2. \(2.43\%\)
3. \(4.12\%\)
4. \(2.14\%\)
In an experiment, the height of an object measured by a vernier callipers having least count of \(0.01~\text{cm}\) is found to be \(5.72~\text{cm}\). When no object is there between jaws of this vernier callipers, the reading of the main scale is \(0.1\) cm and the reading of the vernier scale is \(0.3~\text{mm}\). The correct height of the object is:
1. \( 5.72 ~\text{cm} \)
2. \( 5.59~\text{cm} \)
3. \( 5.85~\text{cm} \)
4. \( 5.69~\text{cm} \)
In which of the following, the number of significant figures is different from that in the others?
| 1. | \(2.303~\text{kg}\) | 2. | \(12.23~\text{m}\) |
| 3. | \(0.002\times10^{5}~\text{m}\) | 4. | \(2.001\times10^{-3}~\text{kg}\) |
Which of the following relations is dimensionally wrong? (The symbols have their usual meanings.)
1. \(s= ut+\dfrac{1}{6}at^2\)
2. \(v^2= u^2+\dfrac{2as^2}{\pi}\)
3. \(v= u-2at\)
4. All of these
