A student measures the time period of 100 oscillations of a simple pendulum four times. The data set is 90 s, 91 s, 95 s and 92 s. If the minimum division in the measuring clock is 1 s, then the reported mean time should be :

A screw gauge with a pitch of 0.5 mm and a circular scale with 50 divisions is used to measure the thickness of a thin sheet of Aluminium. Before starting the measurement, it is found that when the two jaws of the screw gauge are brought in contact, the 45^th division coincides with the main scale line and that the zero of the main scale is barely visible. What is the thickness of the sheet if the main scale reading is 0.5 mm and the 25^th division coincides with the main scale line?

A person trying to lose weight by burning fat lifts a mass of $$10$$ $$kg$$ upto a height of $$1$$ $$m$$ $$1000$$ times. Assume that the potential energy lost each time he lowers the mass is dissipated. How much fat will he use up considering the work done only when the weight is lifted up? Fat supplies $$3.8 \times {10^7}J$$ of energy per $$kg$$ which is converted to mechanical energy with a $$20\% $$ efficiency rate. Take $$g = 9.8\,m{s^{ - 2}}$$ :

A satellite is revolving in a circular orbit at a height $$'h'$$ from the earth's surface (radius of earth $$R;h < < R$$). The minimum increase in its orbital velocity required, so that the satellite could escape from the earth's gravitational field, is close to : (Neglect the effect of atmosphere.)
