Time periods of oscillation of the same simple pendulum measured using four different measuring clocks were recorded as \(4.62 \mathrm{~s}, 4.632 \mathrm{~s}, 4.6 \mathrm{~s}\) and \(4.64 \mathrm{~s}\). The arithmetic mean of these reading in correct significant figure is _______.

  1. A \(4.623 \mathrm{~s}\)
  2. B \(4.62 \mathrm{~s}\)
  3. C \(4.6 \mathrm{~s}\)
  4. D \(5 \mathrm{~s}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(4.6 \mathrm{~s}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Sum of number by considering significant digit sum \(=4.6+4.6+4.6+4.6=18.4\) \(\text { Arithmetic Mean }=\frac{\text { sum }}{4}=\frac{18.4}{4}=4.6\)
