DO YOU KNOW

1. What is saying of Lord Kelvin about measurements?

REMAINING EXERCISE 

Q-1.2: What is the difference between base quantities and derived quantities? Give three examples in each case.

Base Quantities Derived Quantities: Base quantities are the quantities on the The quantities that are expressed in basis of which other quantities are terms of base quantities are derived expressed. quantities. There are seven base quantities. These There are more than seven derived are length, mass, time, electric current, quantities. These include area, volume, temperature, intensity of light and the speed, force, work, energy, power, amount of a substance. electric charge, electric potential etc. 

Q-1.3: Pick out the base units in the following: joule, newton, kilograms, hertz, mole, ampere, meter, Kelvin, coulomb and watt.

Ans: Here Kilogram, mole, ampere, meter, and Kelvin are the base units. 

Q-1.4: Find the base quantities involved in each of the following derived quantities? a) speed b) volume c) force d) work

Ans: a) Speed: The formula of speed is Speed = DISTANCE time Unit of speed = unit of distance  unit of time = s = ms–1

Conclusion: 

Unit of speed shows that speed is derived quantity and it is derived from base quantities length and time. Moreover unit of length is mere and unit of time is second. 

b) Volume: The formula of volume of cube is Volume = length x width x height Unit of volume = unit of length x unit of width x unit of height = m x m x m = m3

Conclusion: Unit of volume shows that volume is derived quantity and it is derived from base quantity length. Moreover unit of length is meter. 

c) Force: The formula of force is Force = mass x acceleration 

Unit of force = unit of mass x unit of acceleration = kg x ms–2 = kgms–2 = N

Conclusion: Unit of force shows that force is derived quantity and it is derived from base quantities mass, length and time. Moreover unit of mass is kilogram unit of length is mere and unit of time is second. 

d) Work: The formula of work is Work = force x distance 

Unit of work = unit of force x unit of distance = kgms–2 x m = kgm2s–2 = J

Conclusion: Unit of work shows that work is derived quantity and it is derived from base quantities mass, length and time. Moreover unit of mass is kilograms unit of length is meter and unit of time is second. 

Q-1.5: Estimate your age in seconds?

Ans: Suppose age of person = 14 years 

Since Total days in one year = 365 Total hours in one day = 24 hours Total minutes in one hour = 60 min Total seconds in minutes = 60 sec Therefore, Age of person in seconds = 14 x 365 x 24 x 60 x 60 = 441,504,000 sec 

Q-1.6: What role SI units have played in the development of science? 

Ans: The SI units have brought consistency and uniformity in measurements, calculations. SI is very helpful to exchange scientific and technical information at the international level. It has also facility to convert one unit into other. 

Q-1.7: What is meant by vernier constant?

Ans: Least count of vernier callipers is also called vernier constant. 

“The difference between one small division on main scale division and one vernier scale division is 0.1 mm. It is called least count (LC) or vernier constant of the VernierCallipers”. 

Least count or vernier constant of the Vernier Callipers can also be found as given below: 

Least count of vernier calipers =smallest reading on main scale no. of division on vernier scale 1mm 10 div = 0.1 mm = 0.01 cm 

Q-1.8: What do you understand by the zero error of measuring instrument?

Ans: Zero error is basically the systematic error which exists in the measuring instrument. This is the error in instrument due to which it shows measurement more than actual measurement or less than actual measurement. This error can be recovered by adding or subtracting from the observed measurement. 

Q-1.9: Why is the use of zero error necessary in measuring instruments?

Ans: Zero error is necessary in measuring instrument to obtain an extreme correct value. 

Q-1.10: What is a stopwatch? What is the least count of a mechanical stopwatch you have used in the laboratories?

Ans: STOPWATCH: “A stopwatch is used to measure the time interval of an event”. A mechanical stopwatch can measure a time interval up to a minimum 0.1 second. 

Q-1.11: Why do we need to measure extremely small interval of times? Ans: We need to measure extremely small interval of times for greater accuracy in obtaining results. 

For Example: Time period of simple pendulum and in free fall experiments time taken in falling the bob etc, these time intervals must be measured with perfect accuracy. 

Q-1.12: What is meant by significant figures of measurement? Ans: SIGNIFICANT FIGURES: 

“All the accurately known digits and the first doubtful digit in an expression are called significant figures”. 

For Example: i. 0.055 has 2 significant digits ii.2.907 has 4 significant digits. 

Q-1.13: How is precision related to the significant figures in a measured quantity?

Ans: More significant means more precision. Thus a measured quantity having more significant figures will be more precise or accurate. 

For Example: If length of rod is measured using ruler and it is 5 cm. When the same length is measured by using vernier callipers it becomes 5.02 cm. In first case significant figure is 1 while in the second case it becomes 3. Since second measurement is more precise because the number of significant figures are increased. Hence greater number of significant figures means greater precision. 

 

EXAMPLES

Example 1.1: Find the diameter of a cylinder placed between the outer jaws of vernier callipers as shown in figure: 

Sol: Zero Correction: 

On closing the jaws of vernier callipers, the position of vernier scale as shown in fig is Vernier division coinciding with main scale = 7 div Zero error (Z.E) = 7 x 0.01 cm = +0.07 cm Zero correction (Z.C) = – 0.07 cm 

Diameter of the Cylinder: Main scale reading Vernier division coinciding with main scale Vernier Scale reading Observed diameter of the cylinder Correct diameter of the cylinder = 2.2 cm = 6 div = 6 x 0.01 cm = 0.06 cm = 2.2 cm + 0.06 cm = 2.26 cm = 2.26 – 0.07 = 2.19 cm Thus the correct diameter of the given cylinder as found by vernier calipers is 2.19 cm. 

Example 1.2: Find the diameter of a wire using screw gauge as shown in figure: 

Sol: Zero Correction: 

On closing the gap of the screw gauge, the position of circular scale is 

Circular division coinciding with index line Zero error (Z.E) 

Zero correction (Z.C) = 24 div = 24 x 0.01 mm = +0.24 mm = –0.24 mm = 1 mm = 85 div = 85 x 0.01 mm = 0.85 mm = 1 mm + 0.85 mm = 1.85 mm = 1.85 – 0.24 = 1.61 mm Thus the correct diameter of the given wire as found by screw gauge is 1.61 mm. 

Example 1.3: Find the mass of a small stone by a physical balance. 

Sol: Follow the steps to measure the mass of a given object. 

i. Adjusting the leveling screws with the help of plumb line to level the platform of physical balance. ii. Raise the beam gently by turning the arresting knob clockwise. Using balancing screws at the ends of its beam, bring the pointer at zero position. iii. Turn the arresting knob to bring the beam back on its supports. Place the given object (stone) on its left pan. iv. Place suitable standard masses from the weight box on the right pan. Raise the beam. Lower the beam if its pointer is not at zero. v. Repeat adding or removing suitable standard masses in the right pan till the pointer rests at zero on raising the beam. vi. Note the standard masses on the right pan. Their sum is the mass of the object on the left pan. 

Example 1.4: Find the number of significant figures in each of the following values. Also express them in scientific notations. 

a) 100.8s b) 0.00580 km c) 210.0 g 

Sol: a) All the four digits are significant. The zeros between the two significant figures 1 and 8 are significant. To write the quantity in scientific notation, we move the decimal point two places to the left, thus 100.8s = 1.008 x10

b) The first two zeros are not significant. They are used to space the decimal point. The digit 5, 8 and the final zero are significant. Thus there are three significant figures. In scientific notation, it can be written as 5.80×10–3 km. 

c) The final zero is significant since it comes after the decimal point. The zero between last zero and 1 is also significant because it comes between the significant figures. Thus the number of significant figures in this case is four. In scientific notation, it can be written as 210.0 g = 2.100 x 102g. Main scale reading Circular division coinciding with index line Circular Scale reading Observed diameter of the wire Correct diameter of the cylinder.
