Questions 15 and 16 are Case Study based questions and are compulsory.
Attempt any 4 sub parts from each question. Each question carries 1 mark.

Q15 Error in measurement is the difference in measured value and true value
of measurement. Errors are basically : systematic error and random error.
Systematic error are of four types: (i) Personal errors due to personal
pecularities of the experimenter.(ii) Innsrumental errors due to faulty
gradation ,zero error etc(iii)error due to imperfection in experimental
procedure and (iv) Errors due to external causes.

(a) True value means- (1)

(i) Resale value (ii) standard value under STP (iii) as measured
in lab. (iv) None of the above
(b) Error in measurement are of (1)
(i) Three types (ii) two types
(iii) four types (iv) six types
(c) The error due carelessness of performer is called (1)
(i) Instrumental error
(ii) Personal error
(iii) Random error
(iv) None of the above.
(d) Error due to Natural calamities is called (1)
(i) Personal error
(ii) External error
(iii) Error due to imperfection technique
(iv) None of the above
Q16 Surface tension is a property of the liquid by virtue of which the free
surface of the liquid behaves like a stretched membrane and the liquid
surface tends to occupy minimum surface area.Its mathematical formula is
force per unit length ant its SI unit is N/m.A needle placed gently on free
surface of water floats , leads balls are spherical in shape are examples of
surface tension.
(a)Surface tension happens in- (1)

above
(b) Example of body having minimum surface area is (1)
(ii) Square (ii) Cube
 (iii) Sphere (iv) Cylinder
(c) The SI unit of surface tension is (1)
(iii) Newton meter
(iv) Newton
(iii) Newton / meter
(iv) None of the above.
(d) A needle floats on water as (1)

(vi) density of needle becomes less than water
(iv) None of the above
