41. What is the unit of atmospheric pressure? [Chhattisgarh P.C.S.(PRE) 2008]

Correct Answer: (a) Bar
Solution:

Bar is metric but not SI unit of pressure.It is equal to 10∧5 newton/metre∧2.Pascal is the SI unit of pressure.1 bar =10∧5 pascal.

42. 1 kg/cm∧2 pressure is equivalent to : [Uttarakhand P.C.S (PRE) 2002]

Correct Answer: (b) 1.0 bar
Solution:

In this question 1 kg/cm∧2 refer to 1 kgf/cm∧2
1 dyne =1.02*10∧-6kgf
and 1 bar=10∧6 dyne/cm∧2
By substituting the value we get
1 bar=10∧6 dyne/cm∧2 =1.02*10∧-6*10∧6 kgf/cm∧2=1.02 kgf/cm∧2

43. Which one of the following quantities does not have the unit? [65th B.P.S.C. (PRE) 2019]

Correct Answer: (c) Strain
Solution:

When the shape or size of a matter is changed by applying an external force it is known as strain.Since ,it is in ratio hence it is dimensionless and without any unit.

44. 1 barrel of oil equals to which of the following ? [U.P.P.S.C. (PRE)2009]

Correct Answer: (b) 159 litre
Solution:

The amount of oil is measured in cubic metres.
1 barrel=158.9873 litre
1 barrel=0.158987 cubic metre
1 barrel=42 U.S. gallon
1 barrel=34.9723 U.K. gallons

45. The smallest unit of length is - [U.P.P.S.C. (PRE)2005]

Correct Answer: (d) Fermimetre
Solution:

1 Fermimetre =10∧-15
1 Nanometre =10∧-9
1 Angstrom =10∧-10
1 Micron =10∧-6

46. Match List-1 with List-2 and select the correct answer from the code given below : [U.P. Lower Sub.(spl) (pre)2008]

List-1 List-2
Cusec pressure
Byte Intensity of earthquake
Richer Rate of flow
Bar computer
- A B C D
a) 1 2 3 4
b) 3 4 2 1
c) 4 3 2 1
d) 3 4 1 2

 

Correct Answer: (b)
Solution:

Cusec is the measure of flow of rate of water and its abbreviation of cubic feet per second (28.317 litres per second).Byte is a unit of digital information in computing and communications that consists of right bits.The Richter magnitude scale assigns a magnitude number to qualify the energy released by an earthquake.

47. What is measured in cusec ? [Uttarakhand P.C.S. (PRE) 2006]

Correct Answer: (c) Flow of water
Solution:

Cusec is the measure of flow of rate of water and its abbreviation of cubic feet per second (28.317 litres per second).Byte is a unit of digital information in computing and communications that consists of right bits.The Richter magnitude scale assigns a magnitude number to qualify the energy released by an earthquake.

48. NTU is the unit for measuring : [Rajasthan P.C.S. (PRE) 2023]

Correct Answer: (d) Turbidity of water
Solution:

Turbidity is described as the opaqueness of a fluid due to the presence of suspended solids and is measured in terms of nephelometric turbidity unit (NTC).The higher the concentration of suspended solids in the water is the dirtier it looks and the higher the turbidity is.

49. Which one of the following is the unit of measure of the thickness of the ozone layer of the atmosphere ? [Uttarakhand P.C.S. (PRE) 2010]

Correct Answer: (b) Dobson
Solution:

Ozone layer thickness is expressed in terms of dobson units which is measure what is physical thickness would be if compressed in earth atmosphere. 1 Dobson unit is defined to be 0.01 mm thickness at STP (standard temperature and pressure) . The unit is named after G,M.B Dobson ,one of the first scientist to investigate atmospheric ozone.1 Dobson is equal to 2.687*10∧20 molecules of ozone per square metre.

50. The thickness of the ozone layer in a column of air from the ground to the top of the atmosphere is measured in the terms of : [Chhattisgarh P.C.S.(PRE) 2023]

Correct Answer: (c) Dobson unit
Solution:

Ozone layer thickness is expressed in terms of dobson units which is measure what is physical thickness would be if compressed in earth atmosphere. 1 Dobson unit is defined to be 0.01 mm thickness at STP (standard temperature and pressure) . The unit is named after G,M.B Dobson ,one of the first scientist to investigate atmospheric ozone.1 Dobson is equal to 2.687*10∧20 molecules of ozone per square metre.
