It is claimed that two cesium clocks, it allowed to run for 100 years, free from any distrubance, may differ by only about 0.02 s. What does this imply for the accuracy of the standard cesium clock in measuring a time -interval of 1s ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Time taken t=100 years
`=100xx365.25xx24xx3600s`
`3.15576xx10^(9)`
time difference `Deltat=0.02s`
`:.` difference in 1s `=(Deltat)/(t)`
`=(0.02)/(3.15576xx10^(9))`
`=0.0063376xx10^(9)`
`~~6.34xx10^(-12)`
`:.` Standard cesium clock measures `10^(-12)` part of 1s with accuracy.

The period of oscillation of a simple pendulum is T = 2pisqrt(L//g) . Measured value of L is 20.0 cm known to 1mm accuracy and time for 100 oscillations of the pendulum is found to be 90 s using a wrist watch of 1 s resolution. What is the accuracy in the determination of g?

The periodic time of simple pendulum is T=2pi sqrt((l)/(g)) . The length (l) of the pendulum is about 100 cm measured with 1mm accuracy. The periodic time is about 2s. When 100 oscillations are measured by a stop watch having the least count 0.1 second. Calcaulte the percentage error in measurement of g.

A physical quantity is a phyical property of a phenomenon , body, or substance , that can be quantified by measurement. The magnitude of the components of a vector are to be considered dimensionally distinct. For example , rather than an undifferentiated length unit L, we may represent length in the x direction as L_(x) , and so forth. This requirement status ultimately from the requirement that each component of a physically meaningful equation (scaler or vector) must be dimensionally consistent . As as example , suppose we wish to calculate the drift S of a swimmer crossing a river flowing with velocity V_(x) and of widht D and he is swimming in direction perpendicular to the river flow with velocity V_(y) relation to river, assuming no use of directed lengths, the quantities of interest are then V_(x),V_(y) both dimensioned as (L)/(T) , S the drift and D width of river both having dimension L. with these four quantities, we may conclude tha the equation for the drift S may be written : S prop V_(x)^(a)V_(y)^(b)D^(c) Or dimensionally L=((L)/(T))^(a+b)xx(L)^(c) from which we may deduce that a+b+c=1 and a+b=0, which leaves one of these exponents undetermined. If, however, we use directed length dimensions, then V_(x) will be dimensioned as (L_(x))/(T), V_(y) as (L_(y))/(T), S as L_(x)" and " D as L_(y) . The dimensional equation becomes : L_(x)=((L_(x))/(T))^(a) ((L_(y))/(T))^(b)(L_(y))^(c) and we may solve completely as a=1,b=-1 and c=1. The increase in deductive power gained by the use of directed length dimensions is apparent. From the concept of directed dimension what is the formula for a range (R) of a cannon ball when it is fired with vertical velocity component V_(y) and a horizontal velocity component V_(x) , assuming it is fired on a flat surface. [Range also depends upon acceleration due to gravity , g and k is numerical constant]
