Student I, II and III perform an experiment for measuring the acceleration due to gravity (g) using a simple pendulum. They use different length of the pendulum and/or record time for different number of oscillations. The observations area shown in the table.
Least count for length = 0.1 cm
Least count for time = 0.1 s
Student | Length of the pendulum (cm) |

A student performs an experiment to determine the Young's modulus of a wire, exactly 2 m long, by Searle's method. In a particular reading, the student measures the extension in the length of the wire to be 0.8 mm with an uncertainty of $$\pm0.05\;\mathrm{mm}$$ at a load of exactly 1.0 kg. The student also measures the diameter of the wire to be 0.4 mm with an uncertainty of $$\pm0.01\;\mathrm{mm}$$. Take g = 9.8 m/s2 (exact). The Young's modulus obtained from the reading is
In a screw gauge, the zero of main scale coincides with the fifth division of circular scale in figure (i).The circular division of screw gauge is 50. It moves 0.5 mm on main scale in one rotation.The diameter of the ball in figure (ii) is
