CH 1 – UNITS AND MEASUREMENT

PRACTICE QUESTIONS
1) Each of the following equations was given by a student during an
examination. Check by dimensional method whether the equations are correct
or not.
(i) v = u + at
(ii) ma = v2
2) Check the correctness of the relation: ρ= 3g/4πrG, where ρ is the density, g
is acceleration due to gravity, r is the radius and G is gravitational constant.
3) By the method of dimensions obtain an expression for the surface tension T
which depends on mass m of the liquid, pressure P of the liquid and radius r of
the capillary tube.
4) The frequency f of an oscillating drop may depend on radius r of the drop,
density d of the liquid and surface tension S of the liquid. Establish the
expression for ‘f’ dimensionally.
5) (a)Is it possible for two quantities to have the same dimensions but different
units? (b) Is it possible for two quantities to have same units but different
dimensions?
6) In the following x is in meters, t in seconds, v in m/s and a is in m/s 2. Find
the SI unit of each combination.
𝑣2
a.
𝑥𝑎

b.√𝑥/𝑎
7) Name the physical quantity that has the same dimensional formula as
frequency.
8) State the limitations of Dimensional Analysis.
𝑎−𝑥 2
9) Find the dimensions of a/b in the relation P= where x is the distance, t
𝑏𝑡
is time and P is the pressure.
10) Find the number of significant digits in the following. (a) 0.06900 (b)
23450 (c)1.0809 (d) 1007
11) The length, breadth and thickness of a metal sheet are 4.234 m, 1.005 m
and 2.01 cm respectively. Find the area and volume of the sheet to correct
number of significant figure
