If electronic charge \({e,}\) electron mass \(m,\) speed of light in vacuum \({c}\) and Planck's constant \(h\) are taken as fundamental quantities, the permeability, of vacuum \(\mu_0\) can be expressed in units of:
1. \({\left(\frac{h}{m e^2}\right)}\)
2. \({\left(\frac{hc}{m e^2}\right)}\)
3. \({\left(\frac{h}{c e^2}\right)}\)

The diameter of a steel ball is measured using vernier calipers which have divisions of \(0.1~\text{cm}\) on its main scale (MS) and \(10\) divisions of its vernier scale (VS) match \(9\) divisions on the main scale. Three such measurements for a ball are given as:
S.No MS \(\text{(cm)}\) VS divisions
1 0.5 8
2 0.5 4
3 0.5 6
If the zero error is \(– 0.03~\text{cm},\) then the mean corrected diameter is :
1. \(0.53~\text{cm}\)
2. \(0.56~\text{cm}\)
3. \(0.59~\text{cm}\)
4. \(0.52~\text{cm}\)

A beaker contains a fluid of density \({p}~\text{kg/m}^{3},\) specific heat \({S}~\text{J/kg}^\circ \text{C}\) and viscosity \(\eta.\) The beaker is filled up to height \(h.\) To estimate the rate of heat transfer per unit area \({Q/A}\) by convection when the beaker is put on a hot plate, a student proposes that it should depend on \(\eta.\) \(\left(\frac{{S} \Delta \theta}{{h}}\right),\) and \(\left ({1\over pg} \right)\) when \(\Delta \theta\) (in \(\mathrm{^\circ C}\)) is the difference in the temperature between the bottom and top of the fluid. In that situation, the correct option for \({(Q/A})\) is:
1. \({\eta\left(\frac{S \Delta \theta}{h}\right)\left(\frac{1}{\rho g}\right)}\)
2. \({\eta\left(\frac{S \Delta \theta}{\eta h}\right)\left(\frac{1}{\rho g}\right)}\)
3. \({S\Delta \theta\over \eta h}\)
4. \(\eta{S\Delta \theta\over h}\)

In a screw gauge, \(5\) complete rotations of the screw cause it to move a linear distance of \(0.25 ~\text{cm}.\) There are \(100\) circular scale divisions. The thickness of a wire measured by this screw gauge gives a reading of \(4\) main scale divisions and \(30\) circular scale divisions. Assuming negligible zero error, the thickness of the wire is:
1. \(0.4300~\text{cm}\)
2. \(0.3150~\text{cm}\)
3. \(0.0430~\text{cm}\)
