The mass of an empty beaker is $(10.1 \pm 0.1) \, g$. When it is completely filled with a liquid,its mass becomes $(17.3 \pm 0.1) \, g$. What is the best value for the mass of the liquid within the possible limits of accuracy?

  • A
    $(7.2 \pm 0.2) \, g$
  • B
    $(7.2 \pm 0.1) \, g$
  • C
    $(7.1 \pm 0.2) \, g$
  • D
    $(7.2 \pm 0.3) \, g$

The initial and final temperatures of water as recorded by an observer are $(38.6 \pm 0.2)^{\circ}C$ and $(82.3 \pm 0.3)^{\circ}C$. The rise in temperature with proper error limits is

In an experiment,four quantities $a, b, c, d$ are measured with percentage errors $2\%$,$1\%$,$3\%$ and $5\%$,respectively. Quantity $P$ is calculated as $P = \frac{a^2 b^2}{c d}$. Find the percentage error in measuring $P$. (in $\%$)

In an experiment to find acceleration due to gravity $(g)$ using a simple pendulum,the time period of $0.5 \ s$ is measured from the time of $100$ oscillations with a watch of $1 \ s$ resolution. If the measured value of length is $10 \ cm$ known to $1 \ mm$ accuracy,the accuracy in the determination of $g$ is found to be $x \%$. The value of $x$ is:

The mean time period of a second's pendulum is $2.00 \, s$ and the mean absolute error in the time period is $0.05 \, s$. To express the maximum estimate of error,the time period should be written as:

The distance $s$ travelled by a particle in time $t$ is $s = ut - \frac{1}{2} gt^2$. The initial velocity of the particle was measured to be $u = 1.11 \pm 0.01 \, m/s$ and the time interval of the experiment was $t = 1.01 \pm 0.1 \, s$. The acceleration was taken to be $g = 9.8 \pm 0.1 \, m/s^2$. With these measurements,the student estimates the total distance travelled. How should the student report the result?
