The following observations were taken for determining surface tension $T$ of water by capillary method:
diameter of capillary, $D= 1.25 \times 10^{-2}\; m$
rise of water, $h=1.45 \times 10^{-2}\; m $
Using $g= 9.80 \;m/s^2$ and the simplified relation $T = \frac{{rhg}}{2}\times 10^3 N/m$ , the possible error in surface tension is ........... $\%$
The dimensional formula for a physical quantity $x$ is $\left[ M ^{-1} L ^{3} T ^{-2}\right]$. The errors in measuring the quantities $M , L$ and $T$ respectively are $2 \%, 3 \%$ and $4 \%$. The maximum percentage of error that occurs in measuring the quantity $x$ is
The mass of the body is $10.000\,g$ and its volume is $10.00\,cm^3$. If the measured values are expressed upto the correct significant figures, the maximum error in the measurement of density is
A scientist performs an experiment in order to measure a certain physical quantity and takes $100$ observations. He repeats the same experiment and takes $400$ observations. By doing so,
A simple pendulum is being used to determine the value of gravitational acceleration $\mathrm{g}$ at a certain place. The length of the pendulum is $25.0\; \mathrm{cm}$ and a stop watch with $1\; \mathrm{s}$ resolution measures the time taken for $40$ oscillations to be $50\; s$. The accuracy in $g$ is ....... $\%$
