  • question_answer
    A student measures the time period of 100 oscillations of a simple pendulum four times. The data set is 90 s, 91 s, 95 s and 92 s. If the minimum division in the measuring clock is 1 s, then the reported mean time should be :-

    A) \[92\pm 3\text{ }s\]                      

    B) \[92\pm 2s\]

    C) \[92\pm 5.0s\]                 

    D) \[92\pm 1.8\text{ }s\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    Ans. (2) Sol.        \[{{T}_{AV}}=92s\] \[{{(|\Delta T|)}_{mean}}=1.5s\]since uncertainity is 1.5 s so digit 2 in 92 is uncertain. so reported mean time should be \[92\pm 2\] Ref : NCERT (XIth) Ex. 2.7, Page. 25
