Percentage error in measuring the radius...

Percentage error in measuring the radius and mass of a solid sphere are 2 % & 1 % respectively. The error in measurement of moment of inertia about to its diameter is :-

A

`3% `

B

`6%`

C

`5%`

D

`4%`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C

`I = 2//5 MR^(2)`
`(Delta I)/(I) = (Delta M)/(M) + 2(Delta R)/(R )`
`(Delta I)/(I) xx 100 = 1 % + 2 xx 2% = 5%`
