Q. The moon is observed from two diametrically opposite points A and B on earth. The angle θ subtended at the moon by the two directions of observation is 1°54′; given that the diameter of the earth to be about 1.276×107m. Compute the distance of the moon from the earth.

4.5x 10⁹ m
3.83 x10⁸ m
2.5 x 10⁴ m
4 x10⁷ m

Answer: 3.83 x108 m

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

The length, breadth and height of a rectangular block of wood were measured to be l = 12.13 ± 0.02 cm, b = 8.16 ± 0.01cm and h = 3.46 ± 0.01cm.

The product of energy and time is called action. The dimensional formula for action is same as that for
