1.

Convert the following:

a. 0.000 0031 cm to µm.
b. 310 000 dm to Gm.

2. Find the resultant force FR at point P due to F1 and F2, using

a. Trigonometric method
b. Graphical method

3. When the jaws of a pair of vernier calipers are closed, the vernier caliper
reading is as shown.

When the same pair of vernier calipers is used to measure the diameter of a
beaker, the vernier caliper reading is as shown.

What is the diameter of the beaker?

4. A micrometer screw gauge is used to measure the thickness of a plastic
board. When the jaws are closed without the plastic board in between, the
micrometer reading is shown in Fig. (a).

With the jaws closed around the plastic board, the micrometer reading is
shown
in Fig. (b).

What is the thickness of the plastic board?

5. A pendulum swings backward from B to A and forwards to C passing through
B, the middle point of the oscillation. The first time the pendulum passes
through B, a stopwatch is started. The thirtieth time the pendulum passes
through B, the stopwatch is stopped and the reading taken is 25.4 seconds.
What is the period of the pendulum?
