Solve the numerical example.
A large ball 2 m in radius is made up of a rope of square cross-section with edge length 4 mm. Neglecting the air gaps in the ball, what is the total length of the rope to the nearest order of magnitude?
उत्तर
Volume of ball = Volume enclosed by rope.
`4/3 pi` (radius)3 = Area of cross-section of rope × length of rope.
∴ length of rope l = `(4/3 pi"r"^3)/"A"`
Given: r = 2 m and
Area = A = 4 × 4 = 16 m2 = 16 × 10-6 m2
∴ l = `(4 xx 3.142 xx 2^3)/(3 xx 16 xx 10^-6)`
= `(cancel4 xx 3.142 xx 2 xx 2 xx 2)/(3 xx cancel16 xx 10^(-6))`
= `(3.142 xx cancel8)/(3 xx cancel4 xx 10^(-6))`
= `(3.142 xx 2)/(3) xx 10^6`m
≈ 2 × 106 m.
∴ Total length of rope to the nearest order of magnitude = 106 m = 103 km

Precise measurements of physical quantities are a need of science. For example, to ascertain the speed of an aircraft, one must have an accurate method to find its positions at closely separated instants of time. This was the actual motivation behind the discovery of radar in World War II. Think of different examples in modern science where precise measurements of length, time, mass etc. are needed. Also, wherever you can, give a quantitative idea of the precision needed.
A SONAR (sound navigation and ranging) uses ultrasonic waves to detect and locate objects under water. In a submarine equipped with a SONAR the time delay between generation of a probe wave and the reception of its echo after reflection from an enemy submarine is found to be 77.0 s. What is the distance of the enemy submarine? (Speed of sound in water = 1450 m s–1).
