NEET Physics Mathematical Tools, Units & Dimensions Question Bank Errors of Measurement

  • question_answer
    In an experiment, the following observation's were recorded : L = 2.820 m, M = 3.00 kg, l = 0.087 cm, Diameter D = 0.041 cm Taking g = 9.81 \[m/{{s}^{2}}\]using the formula , Y=\[\frac{4MgL}{\pi {{D}^{2}}l}\], the maximum permissible error in Y is 

    A)            7.96%                                      

    B)            4.56%

    C)            6.50%                                      

    D)            8.42%

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

                     \[Y=\frac{4MgL}{\pi {{D}^{2}}l}\] so maximum permissible error in Y =\[\frac{\Delta Y}{Y}\times 100=\left( \frac{\Delta M}{M}+\frac{\Delta g}{g}+\frac{\Delta L}{L}+\frac{2\Delta D}{D}+\frac{\Delta l}{l} \right)\times 100\]            \[=\left( \frac{1}{300}+\frac{1}{981}+\frac{1}{2820}+2\times \frac{1}{41}+\frac{1}{87} \right)\times 100\] \[=0.065\times 100=6.5%\]
