The periods of oscillation of a simple pendulum in an experiment are recorded as 2.63 s, 2.56 s, 2.42 s, 2.71 s, and 2.80 s respectively. The average absolute error will be:
1. 0.1 s
2. 0.11 s
3. 0.01 s
4. 1.0 s
The length and breadth of a rectangular sheet are \(16.2\) cm and \(10.1\) cm, respectively. The area of the sheet in appropriate significant figures and error would be, respectively,
| 1. | \(164\pm3~\text{cm}^2\) | 2. | \(163.62\pm2.6~\text{cm}^2\) |
| 3. | \(163.6\pm2.6~\text{cm}^2\) | 4. | \(163.62\pm3~\text{cm}^2\) |
We measure the period of oscillation of a simple pendulum. In successive measurements, the readings turn out to be \(2.63~\text s, 2.56~\text s, 2.42~\text s, 2.71~\text s,\) and \(2.80~\text s.\) The average absolute error and percentage error, respectively, are:
1. \(0.22~\text s\) and \(4\%\)
2. \(0.11~\text s\) and \(4\%\)
3. \(4~\text s\) and \(0.11\%\)
4. \(5~\text s\) and \(0.22\%\)
