The relative density of material of a body is found by weighing it first in air and then in water. If the weight in air is ($5.00 \pm 0.05$) Newton and weight in water is ($4.00 \pm 0.05$) Newton. Then the relative density along with the maximum permissible percentage error is

  • A

    $5.0  \pm 11\%$

  • B

  • C

    $5.0  \pm 6\%$

  • D

    $1.25  \pm  5\%$

Students $I$, $II$ and $III$ perform an experiment for measuring the acceleration due to gravity $(g)$ using a simple pendulum.

They use different lengths of the pendulum and /or record time for different number of oscillations. The observations are shown in the table.

Least count for length $=0.1 \mathrm{~cm}$

Least count for time $=0.1 \mathrm{~s}$

Student Length of the pendulum $(cm)$ Number of oscillations $(n)$ Total time for $(n)$ oscillations $(s)$ Time period $(s)$
