In an experiment on the determination of young's Modulus of a wire by Searle's method , following data is available:
Normal length of the wire `(L) = 110 cm`
Diameter of the wire `(d) = 0.01 cm`
Elongation in the wire `(l) = 0.125 cm`
This elongation is for a tension of `50 N`. The least counts for corresponding quantities are `0.01 cm , 0.00005 cm, and 0.001 cm` , respectively. Calculate the maximum error in calculating the value of Young's modulus (Y)`.
