In \(S= a+bt+ct^2,~S\) is measured in metres and \(t\) in seconds. The unit of \(c\) will be:
| 1. | none | 2. | \(\text{m}\) |
| 3. | \(\text{ms}^{-1}\) | 4. | \(\text{ms}^{-2}\) |
If \(u_1\) and \(u_2\) are the units selected in two systems of measurement and \(n_1\) and \(n_2\) are their numerical values, then:
| 1. | \(n_1u_1=n_2u_2\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \) |
| 2. | \(n_1u_1+n_2u_2=0\) |
| 3. | \(n_1n_2=u_1u_2\) |
| 4. | \((n_1+u_1)=(n_2+u_2)\) |
| 1. | \([MLT^{-2}]\) | 2. | \([MLT^{-1}]\) |
| 3. | \([ML^2T^{-1}]\) | 4. | \([M^2LT^{-1}]\) |
In the relation, \(y=a \cos (\omega t-k x)\), the dimensional formula for \(k\) will be:
1. \( {\left[M^0 L^{-1} T^{-1}\right]} \)
2. \({\left[M^0 L T^{-1}\right]} \)
3. \( {\left[M^0 L^{-1} T^0\right]} \)
4. \({\left[M^0 L T\right]}\)
The percentage errors in the measurement of mass and speed are \(2\%\) and \(3\%\) respectively. How much will be the maximum error in the estimation of the kinetic energy obtained by measuring mass and speed:
| 1. | \(11\%\) | 2. | \(8\%\) |
| 3. | \(5\%\) | 4. | \(1\%\) |
| 1. | \(0.0500\) | 2. | \(0.05000\) |
| 3. | \(0.0050\) | 4. | \(5.0 \times 10^{-2}\) |
The periods of oscillation of a simple pendulum in an experiment are recorded as 2.63 s, 2.56 s, 2.42 s, 2.71 s, and 2.80 s respectively. The average absolute error will be:
1. 0.1 s
2. 0.11 s
3. 0.01 s
4. 1.0 s
| 1. | \(1\%\) | 2. | \(2\%\) |
| 3. | \(3\%\) | 4. | \(4\%\) |
A physical quantity \(P\) is given by \(P=\dfrac{A^3 B^{1/2}}{C^{-4}D^{3/2}}.\) The quantity which contributes the maximum percentage error in \(P\) is:

| 3. | \(C\) | 4. | \(D\) |
