C Correct answer
Explanation

Planck's constant, symbolized h, relates the energy in one quantum (photon) of electromagnetic radiation to the frequency of that radiation.  In the centimeter-gram-second (CGS) or small-unit metric system, it is equal to approximately $6.626176\times 10^{-27}\,$Erg Second.

If force (F), work (W) and velocity (V) are taken as fundamental quantities then the dimensional formula of time (T) is

  1. $\left[ { W }^{ 1 }{ F }^{ 1 }{ V }^{ 1 } \right] $
  2. $\left[ { W }^{ 1 }{ F }^{ 1 }{ V }^{ -1 } \right] $
  3. $\left[ { W }^{ -1 }{ F }^{ -1 }{ V }^{ -1 } \right] $
  4. $\left[ { W }^{ 1 }{ F }^{ -1 }{ V }^{ -1 } \right] $

D Correct answer
Explanation
We know,

$[W]=ML^2T^{-2}$

$[F]=MLT^{-2}$

$[V]=LT^{-1}$

Let,
$W^aF^bV^c=M^0L^0T$

$a+b=0$

$2a+b+c=0$, $a+c=0$

$-2a-2b-c=1$

$c=-1,a=1,b=-1$

Hence , $[T]=[WF^{-1}V^{-1}]$

Option $\textbf D$ is the correct answer

The ratio of SI unit to CGS unit of G is

  1. $10^{3}$
  2. $10^{2}$
  3. $10^{-2}$
  4. $10^{-3}$
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation
SI unit of G is  $\dfrac{N m^2}{kg^2}$.
CGS unit of G is  $\dfrac{dyne \ cm^2}{gm^2}$
We know that  $1 \ N = 10^5 \ dyne$ and $1 \ m = 10^2 \ cm$ and $1 \ kg = 10^3 \ gm$
So ratio of SI unit to CGS unit   $ = \dfrac{\dfrac{N  \ m^2}{kg^2}}{\dfrac{dyne \ cm^2}{gm^2}} = \dfrac{\dfrac{10^5 \ dyne \ (10^2 \ cm)^2}{(10^3 \ gm)^2}}{\dfrac{dyne \ cm^2}{gm^2}} = 10^3$
Correct answer is option A.

1 Newton $=$

  1. $10^4 dyne$
  2. $10^5 dyne$
  3. $10^6dyne$
  4. $10^7 dyne$
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation
S.I. unit of force is Newton and CGS unit of force is done.

We know $F=ma$
so, force can be expresses in S.I. Units as $Kg m s^{-2}$
and dyne can be expressed as $gcms^{-2}$
1 Newton= $kg ms^{-2}$ 
                 =$10^3 g*10^2 cms  s^{-2}$
                 =$10^5 g cm s^{-2}$
                 =$10^5 dyne$

The time taken to complete $20$ oscillations by a seconds pendulum is: 

  1. $20s$
  2. $50s$
  3. $40s$
  4. $5s$
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

We know that the time period of a seconds pendulum is $T=2$ sec. One second for a swing in one direction and one second for the return swing. 

Thus, time taken to complete one oscillation is $2$ sec.
Hence, time taken to complete 20 oscillations is $2\times 20=40$ sec.

The length of a second's pendulum on the surface of the earth is equal to 99.49 cm. True or false.

  1. True

  2. False
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

The time period of seconds pendulum T = 2 seconds, acceleration due to gravity at earth g= 980 $\dfrac { cm }{ { s }^{ 2 } } $,It '$l$' is the length of pendulum,

$l=\dfrac { { T }^{ 2 }g }{ 4{ \pi  }^{ 2 } } \ \Rightarrow l=\dfrac { 4\times 980 }{ 4\times \left( \dfrac { 22 }{ 7 }  \right) ^{ 2 } } =\dfrac { 4\times 980\times 49 }{ 4\times 489 } =99.49$
