The main scale of a vernier calliper has \(n\) divisions/cm. \(n\) divisions of the vernier scale coincide with \((n-1)\) divisions of the main scale. The least count of the vernier calliper is:
1. \(\dfrac{1}{(n+1)(n-1)}\) cm
2. \(\dfrac{1}{n}\) cm
3. \(\dfrac{1}{n^{2}}\) cm
4. \(\dfrac{1}{(n)(n+1)}\) cm
The density of a material in a CGS system of units is \(4~\text{grams/cm}^3\). In a system of units in which the unit of length is \(10~\text{cm}\) and the unit of mass is \(100~\text{grams}\), the value of the density of the material will be:
1. \( 0.04 \)
2. \( 0.4 \)
3. \( 40 \)
4. \(400\)
A student measures the distance traversed in free fall of a body, initially at rest in a given time. He uses this data to estimate \(g,\) the acceleration due to gravity. If the maximum percentage errors in the measurement of the distance and the time are \(e_1\) and \(e_2\) respectively, the percentage error in the estimation of \(g\) is:
1.
2.
3.
4.
