In a physics experiment, a student measures the length of a rod as 5.34 m and its diameter as 0.052 m.
The mass of the rod is measured to be 2.34 kg. The student needs to calculate the density of the rod and
determine the uncertainty in the result.
a) Write the formula for the density of the rod.
b) Using the significant figures, calculate the density.
c) How would you determine the uncertainty in the density measurement?
d) Explain the importance of significant figures in this calculation.
10. A simple pendulum’s period T depends on its length LLL and the acceleration due to gravity. Using
dimensional analysis, derive the formula for the period T of the pendulum. Verify your result with
known constants. (5)
