There are two Vernier calipers both of which have 1 cm divided into 10 equal divisions on the main scale. The Vernier scale of one of the calipers (C₁) has 10 equal divisions that correspond to 9 main scale divisions. The Vernier scale of the other caliper (C₂) has 10 equal divisions that correspond to 11 main scale divisions. The readings of the two calipers are shown in the figure. The measured values (in cm) by calipers C₁ and C₂ respectively, are

In an experiment to determine the acceleration due to gravity g, the formula used for the time period of a periodic motion is $$T = 2\pi \sqrt {{{7\left( {R - r} \right)} \over {5g}}} $$. The values of R and r are measured to be (60 $$ \pm $$ 1) mm and (10 $$ \pm $$ 1) mm, respectively. In five successive measurements, the time period is found to be 0.52 s, 0.56 s, 0.57 s, 0.54 s and 0.59 s. The least count of the watch used for the measurement of time period is 0.01 s. Which of the following statement(s) is(are) true?

An accident in a nuclear laboratory resulted in deposition of a certain amount of radioactive material of half-life 18 days inside the laboratory. Tests revealed that the radiation was 64 times more than the permissible level required for safe operation of the laboratory. What is the minimum number of days after which the laboratory can be considered safe for use?

The electrostatic energy of Z protons uniformly distributed throughout a spherical nucleus of radius R is given by $$E = {3 \over 5}{{Z(Z - 1){e^2}} \over {4\pi {\varepsilon _0}R}}$$

The measured masses of the neutron, $$_1^1H$$, $$_7^{15}N$$ and $$_8^{15}O$$ are 1.008665u, 1.007825u, 15.000109u and 15.003065u, respectively. Given that the radii of both the $$_7^{15}N$$ and $$_8^{15}O$$ nuclei are same, 1 u = 931.5 MeV/c² (c is the speed of light) and e²/(4$$\pi$$$${{\varepsilon _0}}$$) = 1.44 MeV fm. Assuming that the difference between the binding energies of $$_7^{15}N$$ and $$_8^{15}O$$ is purely due to the electrostatic energy, the radius of either of the nuclei is (1 fm = 10^$$-$$15 m)
