Question

Statement I: If three forces F1, F2 and F3 are represented by three sides of a triangle and F1+F2=-F3, then these three forces are concurrent forces and satisfy the condition for equilibrium.
Statement II: A triangle made up of three forces F1, F2 and F3 as its sides were taken in the same order, satisfies the condition for translatory equilibrium.
In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:

Question

Statement-I : Two forces P+Q and P-Q where PQ, when act at an angle θ1 each other, the magnitude of their resultant is 3P2+Q2, when they act at an angle θ2, the magnitude of their resultant becomes 2P2+Q2. This is possible only when θ1<θ2.
Statement-II : In the situation given above.
θ1=60° and θ2=90°
In the light of the above statement, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below :

Question

Three students S1, S2 and S3 perform an experiment for determining the acceleration due to gravity (g) using a simple pendulum. They use different lengths of pendulum and record time for different number of oscillations. The observations are as shown in the table.

Student No. Length of pendulum
(cm)
Number of oscillations
(n)
Total time for
n oscillations
Time
period
(s)
1. 64.0 8 128.0 16.0
2. 64.0 4 64.0 16.0
3. 20.0 4 36.0 9.0

(Least count of length =0.1 m, least count for time =0.1 s)

If E1, E2 and E3 are the percentage errors in g for students 1, 2 and 3, respectively, then the minimum percentage error is obtained by student no          .
