1.Units, Dimensions and Measurement
easy

In an experiment four quantities $a, b, c$ and $d$ are measured with percentage error $1\%, 2\%, 3\%$ and $4\%$ respectively. Quantity $w$ is calculated as follows $w\, = \,\frac{{{a^4}{b^3}}}{{{c^2}\sqrt D }}$  error in the measurement of $w$ is .......... $\%$

A

$10$

B

$16$

C

$18$

D

$12$

Solution

$\frac{{\Delta W}}{W}\,\, = \,\,4\,\frac{{\Delta a}}{a}\,\, + \,\,3\,\frac{{\Delta b}}{b}\, + \,\,2\frac{{\Delta c}}{c}\,\, + \,\,\frac{1}{2}\,\,\frac{{\Delta d}}{d}$

$ = 4(1\% ) + 3(2\% )\, + 2(3\% )\, + \,\frac{1}{2}(4\% ) = 18\,\% $
