A hydrometer is used to measure MCQ with Answer and Explanation

A hydrometer is used to measure
A. Humidity
B. Atmospheric pressure
C. Density of liquids
D. Wind speed
Answer: Option C
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
Hydrometer measures relative density (specific gravity) of liquids based on floatation principle. Deeper sinking indicates less dense liquid. Hygrometer measures humidity, anemometer wind speed, barometer pressure.

Question #3 Report Error
The dimensions of surface tension are the same as that of:
A. Force
B. Viscosity
C. Pressure
D. Spring constant

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Surface tension is defined as Force per unit length (F/L). Dimensional formula: [MLT⁻²] / [L] = [MT⁻²]. A spring constant (k) is defined by Hooke's Law as Force per unit extension (F/x), which also has dimensions [MLT⁻²] / [L] = [MT⁻²]. Thus, both share the same dimensional formula.
