Calculate the length of the arc of a circle of radius 31.0 cm which subtends an angle of `pi/6` at the centre.

उत्तर
Plane Angle α = `"Arc length"/"Radius" = s/r`
According to the problem, θ = `pi/6 = s/31` cm
Hence, length of arc = s = `31 xx pi/6` cm`
= `(31 xx 3.14)/6` cm
= 16.22 cm
Rounding off to three significant figures it would be 16.2 cm.

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.
