The length of a cylinder is measured with a meter rod having the least count of \(0.1~\text{cm}\). Its diameter is measured with vernier callipers having the least count of \(0.01~\text{cm}\). Given that the length is \(5.0~\text{cm}\) and the radius is \(2.0~\text{cm}\). The percentage error in the calculated value of the volume will be:
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, \(Y = \frac{4MgL}{\pi D^2l},\) the maximum permissible error in \(Y \) will be:
1. \(7.96\%\)
2. \(4.56\%\)
3. \(6.50\%\)
4. \(8.42\%\)

2. \(7\%\)
3. \(5\%\)
4. \(14\%\)
The number of particles crossing a unit area perpendicular to the \(x\)-axis in unit time is given by \(n= -D\frac{n_2-n_1}{x_2-x_1}\)
