A vernier caliper with a least count of of 0.01 cm was used to measure diameter of cylinder as 4 cm and a scale (0-15cm) with the least count of 1 mm was used to measue a length of 5cm . The % error in the measurement of volume of the cylinder is

A voltmeter having least count 0.1 V and an ammeter having least count 0.2 A are used to measure the potentail difference across the ends of a wire and current flowing through the wire respectively. If the reading of voltmeter is 4.4 V and reading of ammeter is 2.2 A, then find (i) the resistance of wire with maximum permissible error and (ii) maximum percentage error.

In order to determine the Young's Modulus of a wire of radius 0.2 cm (measured using a scale of least count = 0.001 cm) and length 1m (measured using a scale of least count=1 mm), a weight of mass 1 kg (measured using a scale of least count=1 g) was hanged to get the elongation of 0.5 cm (measured using a scale of least count 0.001 cm). What will be the fractional error in the value of Young's Modulus determined by this experiment?

To calculate the volume of cylinder, a student is given a metre scale of least count 1 mm to measure its length and vernier callipers of least count 0.1 mm to measure its diameter. If its length and radius are 10 cm and 2 cm respectively then the percentage error in the calculated value of the volume of the cylinder will be

In Searl's experiment, which is used to find Young's Modulus of elasticity, the diameter of experimental wire is D = 0.05cm (measured by a scale of least count 0.001cm ) and length is L = 110cm (measured by a scale of least count 0.1cm ). A weight of 50N causes an extension of X = 0.125 cm (measured by a micrometer of least count 0.001cm ). find the maximum possible error in the values of Young's modulus. Screw gauge and meter scale are free error.
