### Related Formula Definitions of physical quantities: 1. Viscosity: F = -eta A fracdvdx 2. Intensity: I = fractextPowertextArea 3. Pressure gradient: fracdPdx 4. Compressibility: K = frac1B = fractextStraintextStress ### Core Logic Let's calculate each dimensional formula: 1. **Coefficient of viscosity (eta):** [eta] = frac[F][A]left[fracdvdxright] = fractextM L T^-2textL^2 left(fractextL T^-1textLright) = textM L^-1textT^-1 Matches **(IV)**. 2. **Intensity of wave (I):** [I] = frac[textPower][textArea] = fractextM L^2textT^-3textL^2 = textM T^-3 = textM L^0textT^-3 Matches **(I)**. 3. **Pressure gradient (fracdPdx):** left[fracdPdxright] = frac[textPressure][textLength] = fractextM L^-1textT^-2textL = textM L^-2textT^-2 Matches **(II)**. 4. **Compressibility (K):** Compressibility is the inverse of Bulk Modulus: [K] = frac1[textPressure] = frac1textM L^-1textT^-2 = textM^-1textLtextT^2 Matches **(III)**. Thus: (A)-(IV), (B)-(I), (C)-(II), (D)-(III). ### Step 1: Final Conclusion The correct option is (2). ### Pattern Recognition Target basic matching terms first: Compressibility is the reciprocal of pressure, giving [M^-1LT^2]. Wave intensity has units of power per unit area, giving [MT^-3]. This immediately isolates option (2). ### Evaluation Rubric / Model Answer null ### Chapter Mix Class 11 Physics: Units and Measurements Class 11 Physics: Mechanical Properties of Fluids Class 11 Physics: Mechanical Properties of Solids

Q22 jee_main_2025_24_jan_morning Screw Gauge and Least Count
The least count of a screw guage is 0.01 mathrm~mm . If the pitch is increased by 75 \% and number of divisions on the circular scale is reduced by 50 \% , the new least count will be \_ times 10^-3 mathrm~mm .
Numerical Answer. Answer: 35 to 35

Solution

### Related Formula The Least Count (LC) of a screw gauge tool is defined by: textL.C. = fractextPitchtextTotal Number of Circular Divisions (N) ### Core Logic The initial least count is given as [cite: 167, 788]: textL.C.textinitial = fracPN = 0.01text mm Now, calculate the modified parameters from the text details : * New Pitch: P' = P(1 + 0.75) = 1.75P * New Divisions: N' = N(1 - 0.50) = 0.5N ### Step 1: Calculating the New Least Count Set up the updated least count expression ratio : textL.C.textnew = fracP'N' = frac1.75P0.5N = 3.5 times left(fracPN ight) Substitute the initial least count value : textL.C.textnew = 3.5 times 0.01text mm = 0.035text mm Converting into the requested scientific prefix units (10^-3text mm) : textL.C.textnew = 35 times 10^-3text mm Therefore, the requested value is 35. ### Pattern Recognition Least count scales proportionally with pitch increases, and inversely with reductions in circular divisions. ### Evaluation Rubric / Model Answer null ### Chapter Mix Class 11 Physics: Units and Measurements

(C) Electrical resistivity(III) [M L^2T^-1]
(D) Electromotive force(IV) [M L^3T^-3"A^-2]
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

  • B. text(A)-(I), (B)-(III), (C)-(IV), (D)-(II)
  • C. text(A)-(III), (B)-(I), (C)-(II), (D)-(IV)
  • D. text(A)-(II), (B)-(I), (C)-(IV), (D)-(III)

Solution

### Related Formula * **Angular Impulse** = Change in Angular Momentum = tau cdot Delta t = [M L^2 T^-2] cdot [T] = [M L^2 T^-1] [cite: 670, 672] * **Latent Heat** (L) = fracQm = frac[M L^2 T^-2][M] = [M^0 L^2 T^-2] * **Electrical resistivity** (\rho) = fracR cdot Al = frac[M L^2 T^-3 A^-2] cdot [L^2][L] = [M L^3 T^-3 A^-2] * **Electromotive force** (V) = fracWq = frac[M L^2 T^-2][A T] = [M L^2 T^-3 A^-1] ### Core Logic By comparing the formulas derived for each physical quantity with the options given in List-II [cite: 670, 673, 674]: * (A) matches with (III) [cite: 670, 672] * (B) matches with (I) * (C) matches with (IV) * (D) matches with (II) Hence, the correct matching is (A)-(III), (B)-(I), (C)-(IV), (D)-(II). ### Pattern Recognition In match-the-column dimensional analysis questions, identifying even one or two straightforward quantities like Latent Heat (L = Q/m) often immediately eliminates three incorrect options, securing a quick correct answer. ### Evaluation Rubric / Model Answer null ### Chapter Mix Class 11 Physics: Units and Measurements
Q jee_main_2025_29_jan_morning Dimensional Analysis
The pair of physical quantities not having same dimensions is :
  • A. textTorque and energy
  • B. textSurface tension and impulse
  • C. textAngular momentum and Planck\'s constant
  • D. textPressure and Young\'s modulus

Solution

### Core Logic Let\'s check the dimensions of each pair : * textTorque = [textEnergy] = [ML^2T^-2] * textSurface Tension = [MT^-2] vs textImpulse = [MLT^-1] * [textAngular Momentum] = [textPlanck\'s Constant] = [ML^2T^-1] * [textPressure] = [textYoung\'s Modulus] = [ML^-1T^-2] ### Step 1: Identify Non-Matching Pair Surface tension and impulse do not share matching dimension frameworks. ### Pattern Recognition Surface tension is force per unit length ([MT^-2]), while impulse is force times time ([MLT^-1]) ### Chapter Mix Class 11 Physics: Units and Measurements
Q jee_main_2025_29_jan_morning Dimensional Homogeneity
The expression given below shows the variation of velocity (v) with time (t), v = At^2 + fracBtC + t . The dimension of ABC is:
  • A. left[mathrmM^0 mathrm~L^2 mathrmT^-3right]
  • B. left[mathrmM^0 mathrm~L^1 mathrmT^-3right]
  • C. [mathrmM^0mathrmL^1mathrmT^-2]
  • D. left[mathrmM^0 mathrm~L^2 mathrmT^-2right]

Solution

### Related Formula [v] = [At^2] = left[fracBtC+tright] ### Core Logic By the principle of dimensional homogeneity: 1. [C] = [t] = [T] 2. [At^2] = [v] implies [A][T^2] = [LT^-1] implies [A] = [LT^-3] 3. left[fracBtTright] = [v] implies [B] = [LT^-1] ### Step 1: Calculate Dimensions of ABC [ABC] = [LT^-3] cdot [LT^-1] cdot [T] = [L^2 T^-3] ### Pattern Recognition Denominator terms matched first give C, tracking linear velocity units sets the balance for A and B ### Chapter Mix Class 11 Physics: Units and Measurements
Q42 jee_main_2024_01_february_morning Vernier Calliper
10 divisions on the main scale of a Vernier calliper coincide with 11 divisions on the Vernier scale. If each division on the main scale is of 5 units, the least count of the instrument is:
  • A. frac12
  • B. frac1011
  • C. frac5011
  • D. frac511

Solution

### Related Formula Least Count (LC) definition: textLC = 1text MSD - 1text VSD ### Core Logic From the problem: 10text MSD = 11text VSD implies 1text VSD = frac1011text MSD Substitute into the Least Count formula: textLC = 1text MSD - frac1011text MSD = frac111text MSD ### Step 1: Calculate with Main Scale Units Given that 1text MSD = 5text units: textLC = frac111 times 5 = frac511text units ### Pattern Recognition Watch out for unconventional scale arrangements where textVSD > textMSD. The fundamental difference formula 1text MSD - 1text VSD safely determines magnitudes without needing sign corrections. ### Evaluation Rubric / Model Answer null ### Chapter Mix Class 11 Physics: Units and Measurements
