13. Since E, l and G have dimensional formulas:
E o ML2T–2
l o ML2T–1
G o L3M–1T–2
Hence, P = El2m–5G–2 will have dimensions:

[P]   M0L0 T 0

Thus, P is dimensionless.

17. (a) Since 1 u = 1.67 × 10–27 kg, its energy equivalent is 1.67 × 10–27 c2 in SI units. When converted to eV
and MeV, it turns out to be 1 u { 931.5 MeV.

(ii) Advantages of dimensional Analysis :
(a) It is extremely useful in checking the correctness of an equation.
(b) We need not worry about conversions among multiples and submultiples of the units while analysing
the dimensions.
(c) We can easily deduce relation among various physical quantities.
Limitations of Dimensional Analysis :
(1) We cannot obtain relations if it has trigonometric ratios, logarithmic functions or exponential function.

(2) We cannot use this method to find expression for the quantities which depend on two or more quantities
having similar dimensions e.g., we cannot deduce expression for gravitational force between two
masses m1 and m2.
19. Systematic errors : The errors which occur in one direction only, i.e., either positive or negative are called
systematic errors. If the measured value is greater than the true value, the error is said to be positive. And if
the measured value is less than the true value, the error is said to be negative.
Some of the sources of systematic errors are as follows:
(1) Instrumental Errors : These errors arise when the measuring instrument itself has some defect in it,
such as
(i) Improper Designing or Calibration : It means the instrument is not graduated properly. For example,
if an ammeter reads a current of 1.5 A, when a 2 A current is actually flowing through the circuit, it
has an imperfect calibration.
(ii) Zero Error : If the zero mark of vernier scale does not coincide with the zero mark of the main scale,
the instrument is said to have zero error. A metre scale having worn off zero mark also has zero error.
(2) Imperfection in Experimental Technique or procedure : The measurement may be systematically
affected by external conditions such as changes in temperature humidity, wind velocity etc. For example,
the temperature of a human body measured by a thermometer placed under the armpit will always be less
than the actual temperature.
(3) Personal errors.

Minimising Systematic Errors : Systematic errors can be minimised by using more accurate instruments,
and improved experimental techniques. One should take proper precautions and remove personal bias as far
as possible while doing the experiments. Necessary corrections can be done for the instruments having zero
errors, after taking the readings.

Random Errors : The errors which are random in sign as well as in size i.e., it may be positive or negative
or both. These errors can be minimised by taking large number of observations and then arithmetic mean of
that the instrument used should have high precision.
20. (i) (a) 10.163
All non-zero digits and the zeroes lying between two non-zero digits are significant. Hence five
significant figures.
(b) 1.67 × 10–17
All digits lying in a base number of a scientific notation are significant.
Hence, three significant figures.
(c) 0.270
In a number having decimal point, trailing zeroes are significant, but zeroes in the beginning are not
significant. Hence, three significant figures.
(d) 1.496
Four significant figures.
(e) 15000
In a number without a decimal point, trailing zeroes are not significant.
Hence, two significant figures.
(f) 2.4300
Five significant figures.

21. The smallest value that can be measured by a measuring instrument is called its least count. For example,
a metre scale can accurately measure a minimum distance of 1 mm. Hence, the metre scale has a least count
1 mm.

The least count error indicates the inability of an instrument to measure a value lesser than its least count.
22. (a) Precision is given by the least count of the instrument.
For 20 oscillations, precision = 0.1 s
For 1 oscillation, precision = 0.005 s
