A student performs an experiment to determine the Young's modulus of a wire, exactly`2m` long, by Searle's method. In a partcular reading, the student measures the extension in the length of the wire to be `0.8mm with an uncertainty of `+- 0.05mm` at a load of exactly `1.0kg`, the student also measures the diameter of the wire to be `04mm` with an uncertainty of `+-0.01mm`. Take `g=9.8m//s^(2)` (exact). the Young's modulus obtained from the reading is

A

`(2.0+- 0.3)xx10^(11)N//m^(2)`

B

`(2.0+-0.2)xx10^(11)N//m^(2)`

C

`(2.0+- 0.1)xx10^(11)N//m^(2)`

D

`(2.0+-0.05)xx10^(11)N//m^(2)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

`(mg)/(pir^(2)) = (Y) (x)/(l_(0))`
`Y = (mgl_(0))/(pi (d^(2))/(4)x) = 2 xx 10^(11) N//m^(2)`
`((DeltaY)/(Y))_(max)=2((Deltad)/(d))+(Deltax)/(x)=2((0.01)/(0.4))+(0.05)/(0.8)=(9)/(80)`
`DeltaY = (9)/(80) xx 2 xx 10^(11) = 0.225 xx 10^(11) N//m^(2) = 0.2 xx 10^(11)N//m^(2)` .
