Write a note on combination of error.
- When experiment involve several measurement, errors in all the measurement combine.
- For example, in measurement of density, error due to mass and volume will combine.
* Error combine in various mathematical operation like addition, subtraction, multiplication and division.
A student in the laboratory measures thickness of a wire using screw gauge. The readings are $1.22\,mm , 1.23\,mm , 1.19\,mm$ and $1.20\,mm$. The percentage error is $\frac{ x }{121} \%$. The value of $x$ is ..............
Calculate the mean $\%$ error in five observation
$80.0,80.5,81.0,81.5,82$
The unit of percentage error is
The initial and final temperatures of water as recorded by an observer are $(40.6 \pm 0.2)^{\circ} C$ and $(78.9 \pm 0.3)^{\circ} C .$ Calculate the rise in temperature with proper error limits.
A body travels uniformly a distance of $ (13.8 \pm 0.2) m$ in a time $(4.0 \pm 0.3)\, s$. The velocity of the body within error limits is
