The density of a material in CGS system of units is 4g/cm3. In a system of units in which unit of length is 10cm and unit of mass is 100g, the value of density of material will be
- A.
0.4
- B.
40
- C.
400
- D.
0.04
Correct Answer
B. 40Explanation
In the CGS system of units, the density of the material is given as 4g/cm³. In the new system of units, where the unit of length is 10cm and the unit of mass is 100g, we need to convert the density accordingly. Since the volume is given by length x length x length, the new volume unit will be (10cm)³ = 1000cm³. The new mass unit will be 100g. Therefore, the new density will be 4g/cm³ x (100g/1000cm³) = 0.4g/cm³. However, the options given are in a different format, so we need to convert cm³ to cm⁻³ by taking the reciprocal. Thus, the final answer is 0.4cm⁻³, which is equivalent to 40 in the given options.Rate this question:

The unit of permitivity of free space, E0 is
- A.
Coulomb2 /(Newton-metre)2
- B.
Coulomb/ Newton-metre
- C.
Newton- metre2 /Coulomb2
- D.
Coulomb2 /Newton- metre2
Correct Answer
D. Coulomb2 /Newton- metre2Explanation
The unit of permitivity of free space, E0, is Coulomb2 / Newton- metre2. This is because permitivity is a measure of how easily electric fields can pass through a medium, and it is defined as the ratio of electric flux density to electric field intensity. The unit of electric flux density is Coulomb / metre2, and the unit of electric field intensity is Newton / Coulomb. Therefore, the unit of permitivity is (Coulomb / metre2) / (Newton / Coulomb), which simplifies to Coulomb2 / Newton- metre2.Rate this question:

In a perticular system, the unit of length, mass and time are choosen to be 10cm, 10g and 0.1s respectively. The unit of force in this system will be equivalent to
- A.
0.1 N
- B.
1N
- C.
10N
- D.
100 N
Correct Answer
A. 0.1 NExplanation
In the given system, the unit of force is equivalent to 0.1 N. This is because the unit of force is derived from the units of mass, length, and time using Newton's second law of motion (F = ma). Since the unit of mass is 10g, the unit of length is 10cm, and the unit of time is 0.1s, substituting these values into the equation gives us F = (10g)(10cm)/(0.1s)^2 = 10N/100 = 0.1 N. Therefore, the unit of force in this system is 0.1 N.Rate this question:

If x= at+ bt2, where x is the distance travelled by the body in kilometers while t is the time in seconds, then the unit of b is
- A.
Km/s
- B.
Kms
- C.
Km/s2
- D.
Kms2
Correct Answer
C. Km/s2Explanation
The given equation represents the distance traveled by the body as a function of time. The term "bt^2" suggests that the rate of change of distance with respect to time is not constant, but instead, it is accelerating. The unit of acceleration is distance divided by time squared, which is Km/s^2. Therefore, the unit of b in the equation is Km/s^2.Rate this question:

If dimensions of critical velocity Dc of a liquid flowing through a tube are expressed as [nxpy rx] , where n,p and r are the coefficient of viscocity of liquid, density of liquid and radius of the tube respectively, then the values of x,y,z are given by
- A.
-1, -1,1
- B.
-1,-1, -1
- C.
1,1,1
- D.
1,-1, -1
Correct Answer
D. 1,-1, -1Explanation
The dimensions of critical velocity Dc can be determined by analyzing the variables in the equation. The critical velocity depends on the coefficient of viscosity (n), density of the liquid (p), and the radius of the tube (r).
Since the dimensions of velocity are [L/T], the dimensions of Dc should be [L/T].
The dimensions of n are [M/LT], the dimensions of p are [M/L^3], and the dimensions of r are [L].
To obtain the dimensions of Dc, we can multiply the dimensions of n, p, and r together.
[M/LT] * [M/L^3] * [L] = [M/L^2T]
Comparing this with the desired dimensions [L/T], we can see that the values of x, y, and z should be 1, -1, and -1 respectively.Rate this question:

If force (F), velocity (V) and time(T) are taken as fundamental units, then the dimensions of mass are:
- A.
[FVT -1]
- B.
[FVT -2]
- C.
[FV -1T-1]
- D.
[FV -1T]
Correct Answer
D. [FV -1T]Explanation
The given answer [FV -1T] suggests that the dimensions of mass can be expressed in terms of force (F), velocity (V), and time (T). The exponent of -1 for velocity (V) indicates that mass is inversely proportional to velocity, meaning that as velocity increases, mass decreases. The exponent of 1 for time (T) suggests that mass is directly proportional to time. Therefore, the dimensions of mass can be represented as [FV -1T].Rate this question:

The pair of quantities having same dimensions is
- A.
Young's modulus and energy
- B.
Impulse and surface tension
- C.
Angular momentum and work
- D.
Work and torque
Correct Answer
D. Work and torqueExplanation
Work and torque have the same dimensions, which is force multiplied by distance. Both work and torque involve the application of a force over a certain distance. Work is the product of force and displacement in the direction of the force, while torque is the product of force and the perpendicular distance from the axis of rotation. Therefore, both quantities have the same dimensions and can be expressed in units of force multiplied by distance.Rate this question:

P represents radiation pressure, c represents speed of light and S represents radiation energy striking unit area per sec. The non zero integers x,y,z such that Px Sy Cz is dimension less are,
- A.
X=1, y=1, z=1
- B.
X= -1, y=1, z=1
- C.
X=1, y= -1, z=1
- D.
X=1, y=1, z= -1
Correct Answer
C. X=1, y= -1, z=1Explanation
The correct answer is x=1, y= -1, z=1. This is because in order for the expression Px Sy Cz to be dimensionless, the exponents of P, S, and C must cancel out each other. Since P represents radiation pressure, S represents radiation energy striking unit area per second, and C represents the speed of light, the only combination that cancels out the dimensions is when x=1, y= -1, and z=1.Rate this question:

- A.
Energy per unit volume
- B.
Force per unit area
- C.
Product of voltage and charge per unit volume
- D.
Angular momentum
Correct Answer

If the error in the measurement of radius of a sphere is 2%, then the error in the determination of volume of the sphere will be,
- A.
4%
- B.
6%
- C.
8%
- D.
2%
Correct Answer
B. 6%Explanation
When the radius of a sphere is measured with an error of 2%, it means that the measured radius could be either 2% larger or 2% smaller than the actual radius. However, the volume of a sphere is calculated using the formula V = (4/3)πr^3, where r is the radius. Since the radius is cubed in the formula, any error in the radius will be magnified in the volume calculation. Therefore, if the radius is 2% larger, the volume will be approximately 8.24% larger (2% * 2% * 2% = 0.08), and if the radius is 2% smaller, the volume will be approximately 8.24% smaller. Thus, the error in the determination of the volume of the sphere will be around 6%.Rate this question:

The density of a cube is measured by measuring its mass and length of its sides. If the maximum error in the measurement of mass and length are 4% and 3% respectively, the maximum error in the measurement of density will be
- A.
7%
- B.
9%
- C.
12%
- D.
13%
Correct Answer
D. 13%Explanation
The maximum error in the measurement of density can be calculated by finding the maximum possible difference between the actual value and the measured value. Since the maximum error in the measurement of mass is 4% and the maximum error in the measurement of length is 3%, the maximum possible error in the measurement of density can be obtained by adding these two errors. Therefore, the maximum error in the measurement of density will be 7%.Rate this question:

The percentage errors in the measuremnt of mass and speed are 2% and 3% respectively. The error in the kinetic energy obtained by measuring mass and speed will be
- A.
12%
- B.
10%
- C.
8%
- D.
2%
Correct Answer
C. 8%Explanation
The error in the kinetic energy obtained by measuring mass and speed can be calculated by adding the percentage errors of the individual measurements. In this case, the percentage error in mass is 2% and the percentage error in speed is 3%. Adding these two errors gives a total percentage error of 5%. However, since the kinetic energy is calculated by squaring the speed, the error in the speed measurement is magnified. Therefore, the error in the kinetic energy will be slightly larger than the sum of the individual errors. In this case, the correct answer is 8%.Rate this question:

In a vernier calliper N divisions of vernier scale coincides with (N-1) divisions of main scale (in which length of one division is 1mm). The least count of the instrument should be
- A.
N
- B.
N-1
- C.
1/10 N
- D.
1/N -1
Correct Answer
C. 1/10 NExplanation
The least count of a vernier calliper is determined by the difference between one division on the main scale and the corresponding division on the vernier scale. In this case, N divisions of the vernier scale coincide with (N-1) divisions of the main scale. Since the length of one division on the main scale is 1mm, the difference between one division on the main scale and the corresponding division on the vernier scale is 1/N mm. Therefore, the least count of the instrument is 1/N mm, which can also be expressed as 1/10 N when converted to millimeters.Rate this question:

A certain body weighs 22.42 gm and has a measured volume 4.7 cc. The possible error in the measurement of mass and volume are 0.01 gm and 0.1 cc. Then maximum error in the density will be
- A.
22%
- B.
2%
- C.
0.2%
- D.
0.02%
Correct Answer
B. 2%Explanation
The maximum error in the density can be calculated by finding the maximum possible difference in the numerator and denominator of the density formula. The numerator is the mass, which has a possible error of 0.01 gm, and the denominator is the volume, which has a possible error of 0.1 cc.
To find the maximum error in the density, we can divide the sum of the maximum errors in the numerator and denominator by the actual value of the density and then multiply by 100 to get the percentage.
So, the maximum error in the density would be (0.01 gm + 0.1 cc) / (22.42 gm / 4.7 cc) * 100 = 0.11 / 4.77 * 100 = 2.31%.
Therefore, the maximum error in the density is approximately 2%.Rate this question:
