Question 7:

Among the listed options, to which value is one dyne equivalent?





Topic: Unit Conversions - Force Units

Correct Answer: A) 10-5 N

Short Hint:
  • Dyne is the CGS (centimeter-gram-second) unit of force.
  • The relationship between dyne and the SI unit of force (Newton) is such that 1 dyne equals 10-5 N in SI units.
  • Thus, the correct answer is A, 10-5 N.

Question 8:

What does a Light-Year primarily measure?





Topic: Astronomical Measurements - Units of Distance

Correct Answer: C) Distance

Short Hint:
  • Astronomical distances are measured in Light-Years.
  • It is defined as the total distance that light can travel in one year.
  • Therefore, the correct answer is C, Distance.

Question 9:

What are the dimensions of the Viscosity Coefficient from the given options?





Topic: Fluid Mechanics - Viscosity Coefficient Dimensions

Correct Answer: C) [ML-1T-1]

Short Hint:
  • The formula for the Viscosity Coefficient is expressed in terms of mass (M), length (L), and time (T).
  • Therefore, the dimensional representation of the Viscosity Coefficient is [ML-1T-1].
  • Hence, the correct answer is C, [ML-1T-1].

Question 10:

How many supplementary units exist according to standard conventions?





Topic: SI Units - Supplementary Units

Correct Answer: A) Two

Short Hint:
  • Supplementary units are additional units used in certain fields of study.
  • In the SI system, there are two supplementary units: the Radian and the Steradian.
  • Therefore, the correct answer is A, Two.

Question 11:

What happens to uncertainties during the multiplication or division of measurements?





Topic: Error Analysis - Multiplication and Division of Uncertainties

Correct Answer: A) The percentage uncertainties are added together.

Short Hint:
  • Uncertainty is an expression of the degree to which a value is known.
  • During the multiplication and division of measurements, the percentage uncertainties are added together.
  • This makes option A, The percentage uncertainties are added together, the correct answer.

Question 12:

Which option best describes the absolute uncertainty?





Topic: Measurement Uncertainty - Absolute Uncertainty

Correct Answer: B) It is equivalent to the least count of the measuring instrument.

Short Hint:
  • Absolute uncertainty is an estimate of the uncertainty of a measurement.
  • It is defined as the least count of the measuring instrument.
  • So, the correct answer is B, It is equivalent to the least count of the measuring instrument.

Question 13:

Which unit is recognized as the SI unit for plane angle?





Topic: SI Units - Plane Angle Measurement

Correct Answer: B) Radian

Short Hint:
  • The standard unit used to measure plane angle in the International System of Units (SI) is the radian.
  • Steradian is the SI unit used for solid angle measurements.
  • Thus, the correct answer is B, Radian.

Question 14:

Out of the following, which is the largest unit for measuring plane angle?





Topic: Units of Plane Angle

Correct Answer: B) Revolution

Short Hint:
  • Plane angles can be measured in several units, including radians, degrees, and revolutions.
