1.Units, Dimensions and Measurement
easy
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
$0.28$
B
$0.36$
C
$0.48$
D
$0.64$
Solution
Volume, $V = lbt$
The $\%$ error in volume $ = \,\,\frac{{\Delta \ell }}{\ell }\,\, \times \,\,\,100\,\, + \,\,\frac{{\Delta b}}{b}\,\, \times \,\,100\,\, + \frac{{\Delta t}}{t}\,\, \times \,\,100$
$ = \,\,\frac{{0.01}}{{15.12}}\,\, \times \,\,100\,\, + \;\,\frac{{0.01}}{{10.15}}\,\, \times \,100\,\, + \,\,\frac{{0.01}}{{5.28}}\,\, \times \,\,100$
$ = \,\,0.07\,\, + \;\,0.10\,\, + 0.19\,\, = \,\,0.36$
