Question #1
The percentage error in the measurement of mass is 1% and speed is 2%. Error in kinetic energy is
A. 4%
B. 5%
C. 2%
D. 6%

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
KE = ½mv², ΔKE/KE = Δm/m + 2 Δv/v = 1% + 4% = 5%.

Question #2
A pendulum has time period 2 s. If its length is increased by 4 times, new period is
A. 2 s
B. 1 s
C. 4 s
D. 8 s

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
T ∝ √L, L'=4L => T' = √4 T = 2×2 = 4 s.

Question #3
The working principle of a Venturimeter, used to measure the flow rate of a liquid through a pipe, is primarily based on:
A. Archimedes' Principle
B. Stokes' Law
C. Torricelli's Theorem
D. Bernoulli's Principle

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
A Venturimeter consists of a converging pipe, a narrow throat, and a diverging pipe. As fluid passes through the constricted throat, its velocity increases. According to Bernoulli's principle, this increase in kinetic energy must be accompanied by a strictly corresponding decrease in fluid pressure. By measuring this pressure difference, the flow rate can be precisely calculated.
