Chapter#01 The Scope of Physics Problems

1) The document discusses five physics problems involving calculations of area, circumference, displacement-time relationships, and gasoline consumption. 2) Problems 1 and 2 calculate the area of rectangular and circular objects using given measurements. 3) Problem 3 shows that the displacement-time equation "s=vit + 1/2at^2" is dimensionally correct. 4) Problem 4 determines that the dimension of the constant "c" in the equation "s=ct^3" must be [LT-3]. 5) The final problem estimates the total yearly gasoline consumption in liters of all cars in Pakistan using data on numbers of cars, average distances traveled, and gasoline mileage.

Chapter # 01 “The Scope of Physics”

P#1.1
Find the area of a rectangular plate having length P#1.3
𝟏
(21.3±0.2)cm and width (9.80±0.10)cm. Show that the expression “s = v it + 𝟐at2” is
dimensionally correct. When “s” is a co-ordinate
Data:- and has a unit of length , “vi” is velocity “a” is
L = 21.3±0.2 cm acceleration and “t” is time.
W = 9.80±0.10 cm
Solution:-
Solution:-
A=LxW 1
s = vit + 2at2
A = (21.3±0.2)(9.80±0.10)
(Put the dimensional variable)
A = 208.74 ± 2.13 ± 1.96 ± 0.02 1
A = 208.8 ± 4.1 L = LT-1(T) +2(LT -2T2)
1
Answer L = L + 2L
A= (209±4)cm2 3
L = 2L
𝟑
(Hence “𝟐” is dimensionless )

P#1.2 L=L Proved


Calculate (a) The circumference of a circle of (hence this equation is dimensionally correct.)
radius 3.5cm and (b) area of a circle of radius
4.65cm.

Data:-
(a) r = 3.5cm P#1.4
π = 3.14 (constant) Suppose the displacement of a particle is related
c =? to a time according to expression “s = ct3”.What
(b) r =4.65cm is the dimension of constant “c”?
π = 3.14 (constant)
A =? Data:-
s = L(dimensionally)
Solution:- t = T(dimensionally)
(a) For “c” c =?(dimension)
c = 2πr
c =2(3.5)(3.14) Solution:-
c =21.98cm Answe(a) s = ct3
(Put the dimensional variable)
𝐋
(b) For “A” c = 𝐓𝟑
A = πr2
A = (3.14)(4.65)2 c = LT-3 Answer

A = 67.8m2 Answe(b)
P#1.5
Estimate the number of liters of gasoline used by
all Pakistani’s cars each year. Given:
[no of cars in Pakistan = 500,000
Average distance traveled per year by each car = 16000km
Gasoline consumption = 6km/liter]
Data:-
No of cars = 500,000
Average Distance = 160000km/year
Gasoline consumption = 6km/liter
No of liters =?
Solution:-
Total Distance
Total consumption = Conspumption per liter
16000 x 500,000
Total consumption = 6
800,0000000
Total consumption = 6

= 13.33x108liter Answer
