Q11. The value of G in SI system is 6.67 X 10-11 Nm2kg-2. Find its value in CGS
system.
Q12. Check by the method of dimensions whether the given equation is correct:
T = 2π root (l/g)
Q13. The velocity ‘v’ of water waves depend on wavelength (take symbol as
lambda), density of water (take symbol as rho) and acceleration due to gravity
(g). Deduce by the method of dimensions the relationship between these
quantities.
Q14. If 2 resistors of resistances R1 = (4+- 5) Ω and R2 = (16 +- 0.5) Ω are
connected firstly in series and then in parallel. Find the equivalent resistance in
each case with limits of percentage error.
Q15. The moon is observed from 2 diametrically opposite points A and B on
earth. The angle subtended at the moon by 2 directions of observation is 1°54
radian. Given the diameter of earth is 1.276 X 107 m. Compute the distance of
the moon from the earth.
