1. 0.1 s
2. 0.11 s
3. 0.01 s
4. 1.0 s
1. | \(1\%\) | 2. | \(2\%\) |
3. | \(3\%\) | 4. | \(4\%\) |
In an experiment, the following observations were recorded: initial length \(L =2.820~\text{m}\), mass \(M = 3.00~\text{kg}\), change in length \(l = 0.087~\text{cm}\), diameter \(D = 0.041~\text{cm}\). Taking \(g = 9.81~\text{m/s}^2\) and using the formula, \(Y = \dfrac{4MgL}{\pi D^2l},\) the maximum permissible error in \(Y \) will be:
1. \(7.96\%\)
2. \(4.56\%\)
3. \(6.50\%\)
4. \(8.42\%\)
According to Joule's law of heating, heat produced H = I2Rt, where I is current, R is resistance and t is time. If the errors in the measurement of I, R and t are 3%, 4% and 6% respectively then error in the measurement of H is
1. ± 17%
2 ± 16%
3. ± 19%
4. ± 25%
If there is a positive error of \(50\%\) in the measurement of the velocity of a body, then the error in the measurement of kinetic energy is:

2. \(50\%\)
3. \(100\%\)
4. \(125\%\)
