Lami’s theorem in vector:
Lami’s theorem is used to relate forces with angle between them when three coplanar forces are acting from a point in equilibrium. The ratio of one force to the sine of angle between other two forces is constant. Statement and prove: According to Lami’s theorem that for a triangle, the ratio of one side with […]

Scalar: The quantities which are represented by magnitude and have no directions and follow the ordinary algebra are called scalar quantity. Example: mass, volume, speed, density etc. Vector: The quantities which are represented by magnitude and directions and follow a special type of algebra (vector algebra) are called vector quantity. Example: velocity, acceleration, force etc. […]

Significant figure: Significant figure are the number of digits upto which the accuracy is maintain. Rules of significant figure: (i) All non-zero digits are significant. For example, 1.235 has four significant figures. (ii) The zeros appearing between two non-zero digits are significant. For example, 4.025 has four significant figures. (iii) All the trailing zeros after […]

Accuracy precision and error measurement: Error: There is a difference between the true value and measured value when a physical quantity is measured by an instrument as the measuring instrument is not ideal. This difference is known as error. Accuracy: Accuracy of the measurement of a physical quantity is the closeness of the measured value […]

Vernier calipers: Vernier calipers is used to measure length of a body. It consists of four parts. (i) Main scale: It consists of a steel metallic strip (M) graduated in centimetre and millimetre in one edge and in inches in other edge. (ii) Vernier scale. A vernier scale (V) slides on the strip M is […]

Dimension: All the physical quantities are derived from some fundamental quantities. Any physical quantity is expressed in terms of the product of different powers of the fundamental quantities. The exponent of fundamental quantities that represents the expression is called the dimension of that physical quantity. Consider a physical quantity speed = = = length (time)-1 […]
