A student performs an experiment to determine the Young’s modulus of a wire

Consider an expanding sphere of instantaneous radius R whose total mass remains constant. The expansion is such that the instantaneous density r remains uniform throughout the volume. The rate of fractional change in density is constant. The velocity v of any point on the surface of the expanding sphere is proportional to : A student [...]

There are two Vernier calipers both of which have 1 cm divided into 10 equal divisions on the main scale. The Vernier scale of one of the calipers ( C 1 ) has 10 equal divisions that correspond to 9 main scale divisions. The Vernier scale of the other caliper ( C 2 ) has [...]

The current voltage relation of diode is given by I =(e1000v/T -1) mA, where the applied voltage V is in volt and the temperature T is in kelvin. If a student makes an error measurin ± 0.01 V while measuring the current of 5 mA at 300K, what will be the error in the value [...]

The diameter of a cylinder is measured using a Vernier callipers with no zero error. It is found that the zero of the Vernier scale lies between 5.10cmand5.15cm of the main scale. The Vernier scale has 50 divisions equivalent to 2.45cm. The 24th division of the Vernier scale exactly coincides with one of the main [...]

The density of a solid ball is to be determined in an experiment. The diameter of the ball is measured with a screw gauge, whose pitch is 0.5mm and there are 50 divisions on the circular scale. The reading on the main scale is 2.5mm and that on circular scale is 20 divisions. if the [...]

A student performs an experiment to determine the Young’s modulus of a wire, exactly 2 m long, by Searle’s method. In a particular reading, the student measures the extension in the length of the wire to be 0.8 mm with an uncertainty of ±0.05mm at a load of exactly 1.0 kg. The student also measures [...]

Students 1,2, and 3 perform experiment for measuring the acceleration due to gravity (g) using a simple pendulum. They use different lengths of the pendulum and / or record time for different number of oscillations. The observations are shown in the following table . Least count for length 2 A student performs an experiment to [...]
