During Searle's experiment, zero of the ...

During Searle's experiment, zero of the Vernier sacle lies between `3.20 xx 10^(-2),` and `3.25 xx 10^(-2)m` of the main scale. The `20^(th)` division of the Vernier scale exactly coincides with one of the main scale divisions. When an additional load of `2kg` is applied to the wire, the zero of the vernier scale still lies between `3.20 xx 10^(-2),` and `3.25 xx 10^(-2)m` of the main scale but now the `45^(th)` division of Vernier scale coincide with one of the main scale divisions. the length of the thin metallic wire is `2m` and its cross-sectional ares is `8 xx 10^(-7)m^(2)`. the least count of the Vernier scale is `1.0 xx 10^(-5)m`. the maximum percentage error in the Young's modulus of the wire is

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
4

Using searle's method young modules is calculated
`y=(F//A)/((Delta l)/l)`
`(dy)/y=(dF)/F+(dA)/A+(dl)/l+(d(Deltal))/(Deltal)`
Only `Delta l` calculations have error `%` error of
`y=(dy)/yxx100=(d Delta l)/(Delta l)xx100=(1xx10^(-5))/(25xx10^(-5))xx100=4 %`
