IX. Give short answer :

1. What are derived quantities ?

All other physical quantities which can be obtained by multiplying, dividing or by mathematically combining the fundamental quantities are known as “derived quantities”.

2. Distinguish between the volume of liquid and capacity of a container.

3. Define the density of objects.

Density of a substance is defined as the mass of the substance contained in unit volume(1 m³).

Density (D) = Mass (M) / Volume(V)

One light year is defined as the distance travelled by light in vacuum during the period of one year.

1 Light year = 9.46 x 10¹⁵ m.

5. Define – one astronomical unit ?

One astronomical unit is defined as the average distance between the earth and the sun.

1AU = 1.496 x 10¹¹m.

X. Answer in detail.

1. Describe the graphical method to find the area of an irregularly shaped plane figure.

To find the area of an irregular shaped plane figure by the graphical method:

• First take the irregularly shaped leaf.
• Place the leaf on a graph sheet and draw the outline of the leaf with a pencil ( Figure ).
• Remove the leaf.
• You can see the outline of the leaf on the graph sheet.

i. Now, count the number of whole squares enclosed within the outline of the leaf. Take it to be M.

ii. Then, count the number of squares that are more than half. Take it as N.

iii. Next, count the number of squares which are half of a whole squares. Note it to be P.

iv. Finally, count the number of squares that are less than half. Let it be Q.

v. M=52 ; N=12, P=6 ; Q=12

Now, the approximate area of the leaf can be calculated using the following formula :

This formula can be used to calculate the area of any irregularly shaped plane figures.

2. How will you determine the density of a stone using a measuring jar ? 

• Take a measuring cylinder and Gr pour some water into it (Do not fill F the cylinder completely).
• Note down the volume of water from the readings of the measuring cylinder.
• Take it as V₁
• Now take a small stone and tie it Volume of an irregularly with a thread. shaped object
• Immerse the stone inside the water by holding the thread.
• This has to be done such that the stone does not touch the walls of the measuring cylinder ( Figure ).
• Now, the level of water has raised. Note down the volume of water and take it to be V,.
• The volume of the stone is equal to the raise in the volume of water.
