1 CASE 1: Significant Figures :
Significant figures in the measured value of a physical quantity tell the number of digits in which we have
confidence. Larger the number of significant figures obtained in a measurement, greater is the accuracy of the
measurement. The reverse is also true.
Significant Figures in Calculation:
The following two rules should be followed to obtain the proper number of significant figures in any calculation.

(1) The result of an addition or subtraction in the number having different precisions should be reported to the
same number of decimal places as are present in the number having the least number of decimal places.

(2) The answer to a multiplication or division is rounded off to the same number of significant figures as is
possessed by the least precise term used in the calculation.

1. What is the correct number of significant figures in 0.0003026?

(a) Four (b) Seven (c) Eight (d) Six
2. The sum of the numbers 436.32, 227.2 and 0.301 in appropriate significant figures is (a)

2 CASE 4: SHM in a PENDULMN

.
The motion of a simple pendulum is very close to Simple Harmonic Motion (SHM). SHM results whenever a
restoring force is proportional to the displacement, a relationship often known as Hooke’s Law when applied to
springs. F = -kx Where F is the restoring force, k is the spring constant, and x is the displacement. Using
Newton’s Second Law, the resulting acceleration when there are no other forces, this relationship becomes
ma = F = -kx
where m is mass and a is acceleration. The result is that the acceleration vector is proportional to the
displacement (and in an opposite direction). When an object is in SHM, is follows the path of a Sine wave.
 1. To find the value of ‘g by using a simple pendulum, the following observations were made: Length of thread

wrong formulas on dimensional grounds.
