In the determination of Young's modulus $\left(Y=\frac{4 MLg }{\pi / d ^2}\right)$ by using Searle's method, a wire of length $L=2 \ m$ and diameter $d =0.5 \ mm$ is used. For a load $M =2.5 \ kg$, an extension $\ell=0.25 \ mm$ in the length of the wire is observed. Quantities $d$ and $\ell$ are measured using a screw gauge and a micrometer, respectively. They have the same pitch of $0.5 \ mm$. The number of divisions on their circular scale is $100$ . The contributions to the maximum probable error of the $Y$ measurement
