Q1. What is meant by Measurement?
Ans. MEASUREMENT
The following information about a body or an event is called measurement.
i. Size and nature of a body is described with a scale.
ii. A clock describes an event.
iii. Hence the reading will give the scale or clock about a body or an event is known
as measurement.
Q2. Define the term UNIT?
Ans. UNIT:
Such quantities that are used to express physical quantities are called UNIT.
Examples:
Unit of mass is known is Kilogram.
Unit of weight is Newton.
Unit of distance is Meter.
In short, without mentioning unit we cannot described any physical quantity.
Q3. What do you mean by fundamental Unit?
Ans. FUNDAMENTAL UNIT:
Units used to express fundamental quantities are called Fundamental Units.
OR
The unit of quantity of matter, Length and time are called Fundamental units. Because
these are very essential for any experiment. We cannot define any body, event or any
experiment without these fundamental units.
Q4. What do you mean by derived units?
Ans. DERIVED UNITS:
The units, which are derived from fundamental units, are called Derived Units.
Example:
Unit of Area is derived from unit of distance or length. Similarly the division of distance
and time derives the unit of velocity, unit of volume is also derived from distance or
length.
Q5. What is meant by System of units?
Ans. SYSTEM OF UNITS:
The fundamental units and derived fundamental units are called System Units.

Ans. SYSTEM OF INTERNATIONAL (S.I. System):
For two centuries a large number of conversion factors had to be memorized to
convert basic units into practical units and vice versa. This difficulty was removed in
MKSA (meter-kilogram-second-ampere) system, in which ampere was adopted as a
fundamental electrical unit. This MKSA system had been internationally adopted and
called S.I. System.
Fundamental Unit of S.I. system
Units of length or distance meter (m)
Unit of Mass Kilogram (kg)
Unit of time Second (Sec)
Unit of Current Ampere (Amp)

i. Full stop should not use in any unit e.g., J.S is wrong, JS is correct. Cm is wrong
but cm is correct.
ii. Similarly cms is wrong, whereas cm is correct.
iii. We often write Kg/m3 m/s, but correct is Kgm3, ms1,
Q13. Write short note of following:
i. Physical Balance ii. Vernier Calliper iii. Stop Watch
iv. Micrometre Screw Gauge v. Measuring Cylinder
Ans. PHYSICAL BALANCE:
Construction:
i. It is the first hand of lever in which length of both arms is equal.

ii. The beam between two arms is made-up
of Aluminium The beam A is provided with
two identical pans P & P ’ suspended by knife
edges K and K ‘.
iii. When we rotate the screw B, the knife lifts
the beam up from the support T and R is a
pillar. The pans are lifted up from the base
Working:
i. The beam is made horizontal with the help
of screw F and F ‘.
ii. The body whose mass is to be determined is
put on the left pan and known mass I put on
the right pan.
iii. Maintaining the pointer at zero position,
the mass is determined.
iv. It should be noted that the physical balance measures mass, certainly not the
weight and its is quite independent of the value of “g”.
VERNIER CALLIPER:
Construction:
i. A vernier caliper is consists of a rectangular steel bar whose one side is
graduated in cms.
ii. It consists of two scales, one is called Main scale and other is called Vernier
Scale.
iii. The vernier scale freely moves on the main scale.
iv. Vernier scale is 9mm long and is divided into 10 equal parts.
v. The difference between main scale and vernier scale is 0.1mm or 0.01cm, which
called Vernier constant or “Lease Count”.
vi. Least count is used to find the fractional part.
vii. With help of this device we can accurately make measurement upto one tenth
(1/10) of a millimeter or one hundredth (1/100) of a centimeter.
Use:
i. The vernier slides move on main scale until its jaw just touch the ends of the
object being measured.
ii. Suppose a reading of 5.34cm is shown in figure.
iii. This is the reading of main scale.


iv. When a nearest perpendicular line of a vernier scale is coincides with a main
scale marks. The reading obtained in division is called Vernier scale reading.
Suppose it is 4 division as shown in the above figure.
MICROMETER SCREW GUAGE:
Construction:
i. It has two scales, one is called main scale and other is called Circular scale.
ii. It is used to measure the diameter and thickness of small objects.
iii. Spindle is an important part in Screw guage as shown in figure.
iv. Spindle is fitted with a graduated thimble.
v. To protect the screwed portion it kept into enclosed cylinder.
vi. Spindle moves through 0.5mm or 0.05cm for each complete rotation. This
distance is called pitch of the screw gauge.
Use:
i. The circular scale moves on main scale, which is in millimeter.
ii. When the object is being measured, we rotate circular scale clockwise till spindle
just touches the object. Now we may take reading.
STOP WATCH:
Construction:
i. We use a stopwatch for measurement of time,
in our laboratories.
ii. It has two hands M and S.
iii. ‘M’ is for minutes and ‘S’ is for seconds.
iv. Normally both M and S coincide with position
o2f zero.
v. The button ‘B’ is pressed and released for
recording the time interval between the start
and stop of the event.

of stopwatch returned at zero and ready for next
fresh reading.
MEASURING CYLINDER:
Construction:
i. It is made-up of glass.
ii. A scale in cubic centimeter or millimeter printed on it.
iii. It is used to find volume of liquids.
iv. When we pour liquid into the cylinder, the level of liquid in the cylinder is noted.
v. We should keep the eye in level with the bottom of the meniscus of the liquid in
order to read the volume correctly.
vi. The liquid surface and the cylinder must be on a horizontal table.
Q14. Define the following:
i. Directly Proportional
ii. Inversely Proportional
iii. Proportional Constant
Ans. DIRECTLY PROPORTIONAL
Such relation between two physical quantities in which one is increased other is also
increased, and similarly when one is decreased, the other is decreased, is called Directly
Proportional. The Graph of such relation is always in straight line. Graph of Directly
Proportional.
Example: V a T
This equation shows the relation of directly proportional between Volume and
Absolute Temperature.
INVERSLY PROPORTIONAL:
If one physical quantity is increasing, then the other is decreasing , and if one were
decreasing, the other would be increasing then this relation is termed INVERSLY
PROPORTIONAL relation.
Example:
If volume and pressure are two physical quantities. Then the relation between them is
V a 1/P
Graph of Inversely Proportional:
The graph of inversely proportional relation between two physical quantities is always
forms a curve shape.
PROPORTIONAL CONSTANT:
To change the symbol of inversely or directly proportional between two physical
quantities. We must use a symbol (K), which is called Proportional Constant.
Example:
V a T V = KT
Where a is a symbol of directly proportional
in this case K is proportional constant.
Q15. What is a Graph?
Ans. It the way of showing the nature of relation between two physical quantities either it is
straight or in curve path.
Q16: How is Graph Construct?
Ans. METHOD OF CONSTRUCTING GRAPH:
i. It is always construct on paper on which
there are many straight horizontal and
vertical lines.
ii. First, we draw two lines, which are
perpendicular to each other as shown in
figure.
iii. The vertical line is called Y-axis and the
horizontal line is called X-axis.
iv. Where both x and y-axis intersect each
other is called origin.
v. The value of Y-axis is always positive from
origin to upward direction and negative
from origin to downward.
vi. The value x-axis is always negative from origin
to left side and positive from origin to right.
vii. All positive and negative value constructed on graph in small points. Then these
points are joined with each other and get the graph.
Q17. Write the advantages of Graph.
Ans. ADVANTAGES OF GRAPH:
i. It is denoted the reactor between two physical quantities.
ii. It also shows the change of relation between two physical quantities.
iii. A doctor diagnosis his patient, by a graph which is drawn between the patient ‘s
condition and medicines to be recommended.
iv. Businessmen can also the state of his business by drawing a graph between investment made and profit earned.
Q18. What is meant by Error?
Ans. ERROR:
The difference between the measured and the actual value of any quantity is called
Error.
Q19. How many types of Errors are. Define each.
Ans. There are three types of errors, which are as follows:
i. Personal Error.
ii. Systematic Error.
iii. Random Error.
i PERSONAL ERROR:
This error occurs when the instruments are used improperly.
ii SYSTEMATIC ERROR:
If difference between actual and experimental reading is due to the fault of the
measuring instrument then it is called Systematic Error.
iii. RANDOM ERROR:
If difference between actual and experimental reading is due to change in physical
state then it is called Random Error.
Q20. What is meant by Correction?
Ans. CORRECTION:
If difference between actual and experiment reading is more and more minimized,
then it is called Correctness. This can be done only when we use the instrument
properly and remove their fault, stop the change of physical state.
