The period of oscillation of a simple pendulum is given by $T = 2\pi \sqrt {\frac{l}{g}} $ where $l$ is about $100 \,cm$ and is known to have $1\,mm$ accuracy. The period is about $2\,s$. The time of $100$ oscillations is measured by a stop watch of least count $0.1\, s$. The percentage error in $g$ is ......... $\%$
A physical quantity is $A = P^2/Q^3.$ The percentage error in measurement of $P$ and $Q$ is $x$ and $y$ respectively. Maximum error in measurement of $A$ is
A physical quantity $A$ is dependent on other four physical quantities $p, q, r$ and $s$ as given below $A=\frac{\sqrt{pq}}{r^2s^3} .$ The percentage error of measurement in $p, q, r$ and $s$ $1\%,$ $3\%,\,\, 0.5\%$ and $0.33\%$ respectively, then the maximum percentage error in $A$ is .......... $\%$
The internal and external radii of a hollow cylinder are measured with the help of a vernier callipers.Their values are $(4.23 \pm 0.01)\,\,cm$ and $(3.87 \pm 0.01)\,\,cm,$ respectively. The thickness of the wall of the cylinder is
A physical quantity $P$ is related to four observables $a, b, c$ and $d$ as follows: $P=\frac{a^{2} b^{2}}{(\sqrt{c} d)}$ The percentage errors of measurement in $a, b, c$ and $d$ are $1 \%, 3 \%, 4 \%$ and $2 \%$ respectively. What is the percentage error in the quantity $P$ ? If the value of $P$ calculated using the above relation turns out to be $3.763,$ to what value should you round off the result?
