If the dropping digits is greater than '5' then the last retained digit is increased by '1' for example 8.76 is rounded of 8.8
If the dropping digits is '5' and the last retained digits is even then it will remains uneffected. for example, 56.45 is rounded to 56.4

Question: 77

Explain the term " precision" and accuracy ?

Answer: 77

77-102

The 'Precision represents the magnitude of error in a measurement while the accuracy means to check how the measured values are closer to the actual value. The accuracy represents the relative error. It can be obtained by dividing the error with measured quantity.

The accuracy depends on the error if the error is greater than smaller will be the accuracy of the measurements and vice versa.

The accuracy of the measurements can be increased by taking several readings and take their average.

Explain " Rounding off numbers ?

Answer: 79

79-102

The quantities in a measurement are always rounded off to certain level of accuracy. The following rules must be observed while rounding off a number.

If the dropping digits is less than "5" then the last retained digit is kept as it is For example 863.73 is rounded to 863.7
If the dropping digits is greater than '5' then the last retained digits is increased by '1' for example 9.66 is rounded to 9.7
If the dropping digits is '5' and the last retained digit is even then it will be remain uneffected. For example 66.45 is rounded to 66.4
If the dropping is '5' and the last retained digit is add, then it will be increases by '1' for example 76.35 is rounded to 76.4

Question: 86

Are radius and steradian the basic units of SI? Justify your answer?

Answer: 86

86-102

Radian and steradians are not the basic units of SI. These are the units of purely geometrical quantities i,e plane angle and solid angle respectively. The general conference on weight and measures has not yet classified there units under either base unit or derived units these are called supplementary units.

Question: 87

Differentiate between the following? (a) Light year and year

Answer: 87

87-102

Light Year:Light year is the unit of distance. It is defined as, " the distance travelled by light in vacuum in one year."
Year:Year is the unit of time. It is defined as the time interval in which the earth completes one revolution around the sun"

1 Year = 365.25 days

and

1 year = 365.25*24*3600 sec

1 year = 31557600 sec
