(A) cm
(B) kg
(C) centigrade
(D) volt
Answer:
(D) volt

2. Answer the following questions.

Question 1.
Star A is farther than star B. Which star will have a large parallax angle?
Answer:

i). ‘b’ is constant for the two stars
∴ θ ∝ 1D

ii) As star A is farther i.e., D_A > D_B
⇒ θ_A < θ_B
Hence, star B will have larger parallax angle than star A.

V =4.234 × 1.005 × 0.0201
= antilog [log (4.234) + log (1.005) + log (0.0201)]
= antilog [0.6269 – 0.0021 – 2¯¯¯.3032]
= antilog [0.6288 – 2¯¯¯.3032]
= antilog [ 2 .9320]
= 8.551 × 10^-2
= 0.08551 m³
In correct significant figure (rounding off),
V = 0.086 m³

i.) Area of sheet to correct significant figures is 8.72 m².
ii) Volume of sheet to correct significant figures is 0.086 m³.
[Note: The given solution is arrived to by considering a rectangular sheet.]

Question 12.
If the length of a cylinder is l = (4.00 ± 0.001) cm, radius r = (0.0250 ± 0.001) cm and mass m = (6.25 ± 0.01) gm. Calculate the percentage error in the determination of density.
Answer:
Given: l = (4.00 ± 0.001) cm,
In order to have same precision, we use, (4.000 ± 0.001),
r = (0.0250 ± 0.00 1) cm,
In order to have same precision, we use, (0.025 ± 0.001)
m = (6.25 ± 0.01) g
To find: percentage error in density
