The diameter of a spherical bob, when measured with vernier callipers yielded the following values : and . The mean diameter to appropriate significant figures is :
- A
- B
- C
- D
View written solutionFree
Correct answer: C
$$\text { } \begin{aligned} \text { Mean diameter } & =\frac{\mathrm{d}_1+\mathrm{d}_2+\mathrm{d}_3+\mathrm{d}_4+\mathrm{d}_5}{5} \\ & =\frac{3.33+3.32+3.34+3.33+3.32}{5} \\ & =3.328 \approx 3.33 \end{aligned}$$
