Derived Quantities : Quantities that can be expressed in terms of fundamental quantities are called
derived quantities. Eg. area, volume, velocity, acceleration, force.
Unit of the quantity : An arbitrarily chosen standard of measurement of a quantity, which is accepted
internationally is called unit of the quantity.
Fundamental or base : The units in which the fundamental quantities are measured are called
units fundamental or base units.

3. In a series of successive measurements in This is based on the fact that the product of
an experiment, the readings of the period of the numerical values (n) and its corresponding
oscillation of a simple pendulum were found to unit (u) is a constant. i.e, n [u] = constant (or)
be 2.63 s, 2.56 s, 2.42 s, 2.71 s and 2.80 s. Calculate n1[u1] = n2[u2].

(ii) the absolute error in each measurement Consider a physical quantity which has
(iii) the mean absolute error (iv) the relative error dimension ‘a’ in mass, ‘b’ in length and ‘c’
(v) the percentage error. Express the results in in time. If the fundamental units in one system
proper form. [Govt. MQP-2018] are M1, L1 and T1 and the other system are
Ans. M2, L2 and T2, respectively, then we can write,
t1 = 2.63s, t2 = 2.56s, t3 = 2.42 s, n1 [M1a L1b T1c] = n2 [M2a L2b T2c].
We have thus converted the numerical value

Tm = = 2.624 s

Tm = 2.62 s (Rounded off to 2nd decimal

(ii) Absolute error ΔT = Tm – t A
[LT−1] = [LT−1] + [LT−2] [T]
[LT−1] = [LT−1] + [LT−1]
(Quantities of same dimension only can be

D T1 = 2.62 – 2.63 = – 0.01
D T2 = 2.62 – 2.56 = +0.06s added)
D T3 = 2.62 – 2.42 = +0.20s We see that the dimensions of both sides are
same. Hence the equation is dimensionally

Mass of an electron = 9.11 × 10–31kg = 3 × 3.14 × (218167 × 10–45)
9.11 × 10–31kg is the mass of 1 electron 4
= 3 × 3.14 × (2.18167 × 10–40)
