The density of a material in the shape of a cube is determined by measuring three sides of the cube and its mass. If the relative errors in measuring the mass and length are respectively $1.5\%$ and $1\%$, the maximum error in determining the density is ........ $\%$
$3.5$
$4.5$
$6$
$2.5$
The density of a solid metal sphere is determined by measuring its mass and its diameter. The maximum error in the density of the sphere is $\left(\frac{x}{100}\right) \% .$ If the relative errors in measuring the mass and the diameter are $6.0 \%$ and $1.5 \%$ respectively, the value of $x$ is
What is called as relative error ? Define fractional error.
$Assertion$: In the measurement of physical quantities direct and indirect methods are used.
$Reason$ : The accuracy and precision of measuring instruments along with errors in measurements should be taken into account, while expressing the result.
The length $l$, breadth b and thickness t of a block of wood were measured with the help of a measuring scale. The results with permissible errors are $l=15.12 \pm 0.01\; cm , t =5.28 \pm 0.01 \;cm$ $b =10.15 \pm 0.01\; cm$. The percentage error in volume upto proper significant figures is
A body travels uniformly a distance of $ (13.8 \pm 0.2)\,m$ in a time $(4.0 \pm 0.3)\, s$. The percentage error in velocity is ......... $\%$
