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)`
% error in pressure=(%error in F)+2(error in L)
`=(4%)+2(2%)=8%`
