DIMENSIONS
▢ Dimensional formula: \([Q]=[M^aL^bT^cI^d\Theta^eN^fJ^g]\)
▢ Dimensional equation: Physical quantity = dimensional formula; e.g. \([F]=[MLT^{-2}]\)
▢ Principle of homogeneity: Every additive term in a valid physical equation has identical dimensions
▢ Applications:
  • •
    Checking dimensional consistency
  • •
    Deriving relation up to dimensionless constant
  • •
    Converting numerical value between unit systems
  • •
    Finding dimensions/units of constants
▢ Unit conversion:
❖ General: \(n_1[M_1^aL_1^bT_1^c\cdots]=n_2[M_2^aL_2^bT_2^c\cdots]\)
❖ Numerical value: \(n_2=n_1\left(\dfrac{M_1}{M_2}\right)^a\left(\dfrac{L_1}{L_2}\right)^b\left(\dfrac{T_1}{T_2}\right)^c\cdots\)
❖ Example: \(1\,N=10^5\,dyne\)
▢ Dimensionless quantities:
❖ Without unit:
  • •
    Strain
  • •
    Refractive index
  • •
    Relative density
  • •
    Coefficient of friction
  • •
    Poisson ratio
❖ With named unit:
  • •
    Plane angle → rad
  • •
    Solid angle → sr
▢ Same dimensions:
  • •
    Work = energy = torque → \([ML^2T^{-2}]\)
  • •
    Impulse = linear momentum → \([MLT^{-1}]\)
  • •
    Pressure = stress = elastic modulus = energy density → \([ML^{-1}T^{-2}]\)
  • •
    Frequency = angular velocity = velocity gradient → \([T^{-1}]\)
  • •
    Planck constant = angular momentum → \([ML^2T^{-1}]\)
▢ Limitations:
  • •
    Cannot determine dimensionless numerical constants: \(2,\pi,e\)
  • •
    Cannot distinguish different quantities with same dimensions
  • •
    Cannot determine scalar/vector nature
  • •
    Cannot establish additive/trigonometric/exponential form
  • •
    Dimensionally correct equation may be physically incorrect

SCIENTIFIC NOTATION AND SIGNIFICANT FIGURES
▢ Scientific notation: \(N=a\times10^n\), \(1\le |a|<10\)
▢ Order of magnitude: Nearest integral power of 10
▢ Significant figures:
❖ Definition: All certain digits + first uncertain digit
❖ Counting rules:
  1. All non-zero digits significant
  2. Zeros between non-zero digits significant
  3. Leading zeros not significant
  4. Trailing zeros significant only when decimal point/precision is explicit
  5. Exact counted numbers and defined conversions → infinite significant figures
  6. Scientific notation: only coefficient digits count
❖ Examples:
  • •
    \(0.00450\) → 3 s.f.
  • •
    \(2.0300\) → 5 s.f.
  • •
    \(1500\) → ambiguous; \(1.500\times10^3\) → 4 s.f.
❖ Rounding:
  • •
    Discarded first digit <5 → unchanged
  • •
    >5 → preceding digit +1
  • •
    Exactly 5 followed by non-zero → +1
  • •
    Exactly 5 followed only by zeros → round to even
❖ Operations:
◉ Multiplication/division: Result → least significant figures among inputs
◉ Addition/subtraction: Result → least decimal places among inputs
◉ Logarithm: Mantissa decimal places = significant figures of argument
◉ Antilogarithm: Result significant figures = mantissa decimal places
📚
MEASUREMENT AND ERRORS
▢ Accuracy: Closeness to true/accepted value
▢ Precision: Repeatability; closeness among repeated readings
▢ Least count: Smallest directly measurable increment
▢ Types of error:
❖ Systematic:
  • •
    Instrumental/zero error
  • •
    Environmental error
  • •
    Observational/personal error
  • •
    Theoretical error
❖ Random: Unpredictable fluctuations; reduced by repeated measurements
❖ Gross: Carelessness, wrong recording/calculation
❖ Backlash: Lost motion due to worn screw threads; approach final reading in one rotational direction
▢ Repeated measurements:
❖ Mean: \(\bar{x}=\dfrac{x_1+x_2+\cdots+x_n}{n}\)
❖ Individual absolute error: \(\Delta x_i=|x_i-\bar{x}|\)
❖ Mean absolute error: \(\Delta\bar{x}=\dfrac{\sum|x_i-\bar{x}|}{n}\)
❖ Relative/fractional error: \(\dfrac{\Delta\bar{x}}{\bar{x}}\)
❖ Percentage error: \(\dfrac{\Delta\bar{x}}{\bar{x}}\times100\%\)
❖ Reported result: \(x=\bar{x}\pm\Delta\bar{x}\)
▢ Error propagation:
❖ Addition: \(z=x+y\Rightarrow\Delta z=\Delta x+\Delta y\)
❖ Subtraction: \(z=x-y\Rightarrow\Delta z=\Delta x+\Delta y\)
❖ Multiplication: \(z=xy\Rightarrow\dfrac{\Delta z}{|z|}=\dfrac{\Delta x}{|x|}+\dfrac{\Delta y}{|y|}\)
❖ Division: \(z=x/y\Rightarrow\dfrac{\Delta z}{|z|}=\dfrac{\Delta x}{|x|}+\dfrac{\Delta y}{|y|}\)
❖ Power: \(z=x^n\Rightarrow\dfrac{\Delta z}{|z|}=|n|\dfrac{\Delta x}{|x|}\)
❖ General product: \(Q=kx^ay^bw^c\Rightarrow\dfrac{\Delta Q}{|Q|}=|a|\dfrac{\Delta x}{|x|}+|b|\dfrac{\Delta y}{|y|}+|c|\dfrac{\Delta w}{|w|}\)
❖ Derivative formula: \(Q=f(x,y,\ldots)\Rightarrow\Delta Q_{max}\approx\left|\dfrac{\partial Q}{\partial x}\right|\Delta x+\left|\dfrac{\partial Q}{\partial y}\right|\Delta y+\cdots\)
▢ Worked examples:
❖ Addition and subtraction:
◉ Given: \(A=(10.0\pm0.2)\,cm,\ B=(5.0\pm0.1)\,cm\)
◉ Sum: \(A+B=(15.0\pm0.3)\,cm\)
◉ Difference: \(A-B=(5.0\pm0.3)\,cm\)
❖ Multiplication:
◉ Given: \(l=(5.0\pm0.1)\,cm,\ b=(2.0\pm0.1)\,cm\)
◉ Calculation: \(A=lb=10.0\,cm^2;\ \Delta A/A=0.1/5.0+0.1/2.0=0.07\)
◉ Result: \(A=(10.0\pm0.7)\,cm^2\); percentage error \(=7\%\)
❖ Division:
◉ Given: \(s=(100\pm1)\,m,\ t=(20.0\pm0.2)\,s\)
◉ Calculation: \(v=s/t=5.00\,m\,s^{-1};\ \Delta v/v=1/100+0.2/20=0.02\)
◉ Result: \(v=(5.00\pm0.10)\,m\,s^{-1}\); percentage error \(=2\%\)
❖ Power:
◉ Given: \(r=(2.00\pm0.02)\,cm;\ V=\dfrac43\pi r^3\)
◉ Calculation: \(\Delta V/V=3\Delta r/r=3\%\)
◉ Result: \(V\approx(33.5\pm1.0)\,cm^3\)
❖ Density of cube:
◉ Relation: \(\rho=m/a^3\)
◉ Given: Mass error \(=4\%\); side error \(=3\%\)
◉ Maximum error: \(\%\Delta\rho=4+3(3)=13\%\)
▢ Important:
  • •
    For both + and −, absolute errors add
  • •
    For × and ÷, fractional/percentage errors add
  • •
    Negative exponent also contributes positively to maximum error
  • •
    Subtraction of nearly equal values may produce very large relative error
  • •
    Uncertainty normally rounded to 1 significant figure; retain 2 if first digit is 1 or 2
📚
PERCENTAGE CHANGE
▢ Exact finite change:
❖ Absolute change: \(\Delta y=y_{new}-y_{old}\)
❖ Percentage change: \(\%\Delta y=\dfrac{y_{new}-y_{old}}{y_{old}}\times100\%\)
❖ Sign: Positive → increase; negative → decrease
▢ Derivative approximation:
❖ Single variable: \(y=f(x)\Rightarrow\dfrac{\Delta y}{y}\approx\dfrac{f'(x)}{f(x)}\Delta x\)
❖ Percentage form: \(\%\Delta y\approx\dfrac{f'(x)}{f(x)}\Delta x\times100\%\)
❖ Several variables: \(\Delta y\approx\dfrac{\partial y}{\partial x}\Delta x+\dfrac{\partial y}{\partial z}\Delta z+\cdots\)
❖ Power law: \(y=kx^n\Rightarrow\%\Delta y\approx n(\%\Delta x)\)
❖ Product law: \(y=kx^az^b\Rightarrow\%\Delta y\approx a(\%\Delta x)+b(\%\Delta z)\)
▢ Exact power-law formula:
❖ Increase by \(p\%\): \(\%\Delta y=\left[\left(1+\dfrac{p}{100}\right)^n-1\right]100\%\)
❖ Decrease by \(p\%\): \(\%\Delta y=\left[\left(1-\dfrac{p}{100}\right)^n-1\right]100\%\)
▢ Examples:
❖ Electric power:
◉ Relation: \(P=I^2R\); \(R\) constant; \(I\) decreases by \(1\%\)
◉ Derivative: \(\%\Delta P\approx2(-1\%)=-2\%\)
◉ Exact: \([(0.99)^2-1]100\%=-1.99\%\)
❖ Gravity at Earth surface:
◉ Relation: \(g=GM/R^2\); \(M\) constant; \(R\) decreases by \(1\%\)
◉ Derivative: \(\%\Delta g\approx-2(-1\%)=+2\%\)
◉ Exact: \(\left[1/(0.99)^2-1\right]100\%\approx+2.03\%\)
❖ Area of circle:
◉ Relation: \(A=\pi r^2\); \(r\) increases by \(5\%\)
◉ Derivative: \(\%\Delta A\approx10\%\)
◉ Exact: \([(1.05)^2-1]100\%=10.25\%\)
▢ Use rule: Derivative formula → small percentage change; exact formula → finite/large change
📚
MEASURING INSTRUMENTS
▢ Zero correction: Zero correction \(=-\) zero error
▢ Vernier calipers:
❖ Least count: \(LC=1\,MSD-1\,VSD=\dfrac{1\,MSD}{N}\) for direct vernier
❖ Reading: \(MSR+(VSR\times LC)+\text{zero correction}\)
▢ Screw gauge:
❖ Pitch: Distance advanced in one full rotation
❖ Least count: \(LC=\dfrac{\text{pitch}}{\text{circular-scale divisions}}\)
❖ Reading: \(PSR+(CSR\times LC)+\text{zero correction}\)
❖ Backlash prevention: Rotate in same direction while taking final reading
▢ Combination of measured lengths: If each length has uncertainty \(\Delta L\), then \(L_1+L_2\) has maximum uncertainty \(2\Delta L\)
