A force F is applied on a square plate of side L. If the percentage error in the determination of L is 2% and that in F is 4%. What is the permissible error in pressure?

A

0.08

B

0.06

C

0.04

D

0.02

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
`P = F/A = F/L^2 = FL^-2`
Permissible error (%) in P = (% error in F)+2(% error in L).
