The radius of the sphere is (4.3 ± 0.1) cm. The percentage error in its volume is
A. 0.1 × 100 / 4.3
B. 3 + 4.3
C. 0.1/4.3 × 100 (single factor)
D. 3 × 0.1 × 100 / 4.3

Correct Option
Explanation
Volume ∝ r^3 so percentage error = 3*(Δr/r)*100 = 3*(0.1/4.3)*100, which is option B.

Resistance of a wire has been calculated as 6.2 Ω with 8% uncertainty. Then the result in ohms will be recorded as:
A. 6.2 ± 0.5
B. 6.2 ± 8
C. 6.2 ± 2
D. 6.2 ± 4
Answer & Solution

Correct Option
Explanation
8% of 6.2 is 0.496, which rounds to 0.5, so the uncertainty is ±0.5 Ω.

Error in the measurement of radius of a sphere is 1%. Then error in the measurement of volume is
A. 5%
B. 1%
C. 3%
D. 8%
Answer & Solution

Correct Option
Explanation
Volume ∝ r^3, so percentage error in volume ≈ 3 × (percentage error in radius) = 3 × 1% = 3%.

An object of density 12 g cm^-3 is weighed with brass weights of density 8 g cm^-3 by a physical balance. If the density of air is 1.2 × 10^-3 g cm^-3, then the percentage error in weighing is
A. 0.01%
B. 0.005%
C. 0.05%
D. 0.001%
Answer & Solution

Correct Option
Explanation
Accounting for buoyancy of air yields a very small fractional change; the worked solution in the OCR shows option (a) as the result giving 0.005%.

The mass m of the largest stone that can be moved by flowing water depends upon the density ρ of water, acceleration due to gravity g and velocity of flow u, then m ∝ ?
A. ρ g
B. u^6
C. u^2
D. u^8
Answer & Solution

Report
Correct Option
Explanation
Dimensional analysis with m ∝ ρ^a g^b u^c yields a=1, b=-3, c=6, so m ∝ u^6 (with appropriate dependence on ρ and g).

Report
Correct Option
Explanation
Work, energy and torque share dimensions [M L^{2} T^{-2}], while pressure has different dimensions [M L^{-1} T^{-2}].
348
Dimensions are the same for:
A. Work and energy
B. Force and weight
C. None of these
D. Both A and B are correct
Answer & Solution

Report
Correct Option
Explanation
Work and energy share dimensions, and force and weight are both forces with same dimensions; thus both statements are correct.
