What is estimation of error ? Write method for estimation.
Maximum error during experiment is estimated and it is represented with result of experiment. This is called estimation of error.
Error is estimated in three ways :
$(1)$ Absolute error $(2)$ Relative error and Fractional error $(3)$ Percentage error.
A person measures the depth of a well by measuring the time interval between dropping a stone and receiving the sound of impact with the bottom of the well. The error in his measurement of time is $\delta \mathrm{T}=0.01$ seconds and he measures the depth of the well to be $\mathrm{L}=20$ meters. Take the acceleration due to gravity $\mathrm{g}=10 \mathrm{~ms}^{-2}$ and the velocity of sound is $300 \mathrm{~ms}^{-1}$. Then the fractional error in the measurement, $\delta \mathrm{L} / \mathrm{L}$, is closest to
In an experiment to find acceleration due to gravity $(g)$ using simple pendulum, time period of $0.5\,s$ is measured from time of $100$ oscillation with a watch of $1\;s$ resolution. If measured value of length is $10\; cm$ known to $1\; mm$ accuracy. The accuracy in the determination of $g$ is found to be $x \%$. The value of $x$ is
If the error in the measurement of radius of a sphere is $2\%$ then the error in the determination of volume of the sphere will be ........ $\%$
If $x=10.0 \pm 0.1$ and $y=10.0 \pm 0.1$, then $2 x-2 y$ is equal to
If $P = \frac{{{A^3}}}{{{B^{5/2}}}}$ and $\Delta A$ is absolute error in $A$ and $\Delta B$ is absolute error in $B$ then absolute error $\Delta P$ in $P$ is
