CHAPTER 1: MEASUREMENTS
ASSIGNMENTS
Assignment 1.1 : A pulley of radius 0.9 m is used to lift a bucket from the well. If it took 3.6
rotations for the pulley to take water out of the well, how deep is water in the well?
Given Data
To Find
Depth of water = ?
Solution
By putting
Depth = 20.34 m
Depth = 20 m Ans
Assignment 1.2: A physicist calculated the wall width of brick thickness (the brick is laid in a
flat position, lengthwise called stretcher position) as (13.6 0.1) cm. And one brick
thickness (the brick is placed in flat position, lengthwise orthogonal to wall, called header
position), as (23.6 0.1) cm. Calculate the difference in width of walls with uncertainty in it.
Given Data
To Find
Difference in widths = d = ?
Uncertainty in widths = d = ?

Solution
Difference in widths d = d2 – d1
Now
Uncertainty in widths d = d1 + d2
Final result;
Given Data
Voltage = ( )=( )V
Current = ( )=( )A
To Find
Resistance = ( )
Solution
R =
R =
R = 2.7
= 1.36 + 1.83
= 3.19
= 3.19
= 0.08
Now;
= (2.7 0.08)
Assignment 1.4: The radius of sphere ‘r’ is measured with vernier calipers as (r ± ) = (2.25
± 0.01) cm. Calculate the volume of sphere.
Given Data
To Find
Volume = (V ± )=?
Solution
V =
V =
V =
V =
V =
=3( )
By putting values;
=3( )
=3
=3
= 0.6
Final answer;
Volume = (V ± ) = (47.7 ± )
a) 0.31 + 0.1
= 0.31 + 0.1
= 0.41
= 0.4 Ans
= 2026.8378
= 2026.8 Ans
c) 8 × 7
=8×7
= 56
= 60 Ans
= 139.519192
e) 5.5 / 1.1
= 5.5 / 1.1
= 5.0 Ans
f)
= 55.11529
= 55 Ans

a)
Solution
= + ×s
[L ]=[L ]+[L ]
[L ]=2[L ]
Since the dimensions of both sides are same so above equation is dimensionally correct.
b)
Solution
m= + ×
[L]= [ ] [ ] + [ ]×[ ]
[L]=[L]+ [ ]
[L]= [ ]
Since the dimensions of both sides are same therefore above equation is dimensionally
correct.

Assignment 1.7: Find an expression for the time period ‘T’ of a simple pendulum. The time
period ‘T’ may depend upon (i) mass ‘m’ of the bob of the pendulum, (ii) length ‘l’ of
pendulum, (iii) acceleration due to gravity ‘g’ at the place where the pendulum is suspended.
Solution
Suppose time period T directly depends on mass m, length l and gravitational acceleration g;
T m×l×g
T × ×
[T] =k× [ ] ×[ ] ×[ ]
[T] =k× [ ] ×[ ] ×[ ]
[T] =k× [ × ]
