Can error be completely eliminated ?
A sliver wire has mass $(0.6 \pm 0.006) \; g$, radius $(0.5 \pm 0.005) \; mm$ and length $(4 \pm 0.04) \; cm$. The maximum percentage error in the measurement of its density will be $......\,\%$
A physical quantity $A$ is related to four observable $a,b,c$ and $d$ as follows, $A = \frac{{{a^2}{b^3}}}{{c\sqrt d }}$, the percentage errors of measurement in $a,b,c$ and $d$ are $1\%,3\%,2\% $ and $2\% $ respectively. What is the percentage error in the quantity $A$ ......... $\%$
The relative error in the measurement of the side of a cube is $0.027$. The relative error in the measurement of its volume is ..........
A student performs an experiment to determine the Young's modulus of a wire, exactly $2 \mathrm{~m}$ long, by Searle's method. In a particular reading, the student measures the extension in the length of the wire to be $0.8 \mathrm{~mm}$ with an uncertainty of $\pm 0.05 \mathrm{~mm}$ at a load of exactly $1.0 \mathrm{~kg}$. The student also measures the diameter of the wire to be $0.4 \mathrm{~mm}$ with an uncertainty of $\pm 0.01 \mathrm{~mm}$. Take $g=9.8 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}^2$ (exact). The Young's modulus obtained from the reading is
