The length of the string of a simple pendulum is measured with a meter scale to be `63.5 cm`, the radius of the bob plus the hook is measured with the help of vernier caliper to be `1.55 cm`. Select the incorrect statement.

A

Least count of meter scale is `0.1 cm`

B

Least count of vernier caliper is `0.01 cm`

C

Effective length of pendulum is `65.0 cm`

D

Effective length of pendulum is `65.2 cm`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
From measurements least count of meter scale is `0.1 cm` and least count of vernier calliper is `0.01 cm`. Effective length of simple pendulum `=63.5 + 1.55 = 65.15 = 65.2 cm`.

The length of the string of a simple pendulum is measured with a metre scale to be 90.0 cm.The radius of the bob plus thelength of the hook is calculated to be 2.13 cm using measurements with a slide callipers. What is the effective lengthof the pendulum? (The effective length is defined as the distance between the point of suspension and the centre of the bob.)

The effictive length of a simple pendulum is the sum of the following three : length of string , radius of bob , and length of hook. In a simple pendulum experiment , the length of the string , as measured by a meter scale , is 92.0 cm . The radius of the bob combined with the length of the hook , as measured by a vernier callipers , is 2.15 cm . The effictive length of the pendulum is

The length of the string of a simple pendulum is 102.6 cm and the diameter of the bob is 2.56 cm. What is the effective length of the simple pendulum by using the correct number of significant figures? (Rounding off is not to be considered.)

In determination of value of acceleration due to gravity (g) by simple pendulum, the time period is measured by a topwatch (L.C. = 0.5 second) and length of the thread is measured with metre scale (L.C. 0.1 cm) and diametre of bob is measured with vernier callipers (L.C. = 0.1 cm). The following observations are recorded : Length of the thread =105.3 cm Diameter of the bob =2.45 cm Time period =2.07 s Number of oscillations =10 Calculate the value of g, estimate error and write the result in proper significant figures.

In an experiment to determine acceleration due to gravity, the length of the pendulum is measured as 98 cm be a scale of least count of 1 cm. The period of swing/oscillations is measured with the help of a stop watch having a least count of 1s. The time period of 50 oscillation is found to be 98 s. Express value of g with proper error limits.
