The diameter of a wire as measured by a screw gauge was found to be 1.002cm, 1.004cm and 1.006cm . The absoulue error in the third reading is

In searle's experiment, the diameter of the wire, as measured by a screw gauge of least count 0.001 cm is 0.500 cm. The length, measured by a scale of least count 0.1cm is 110.0cm. When a weight of 40N is suspended from the wire, its extension is measured to be 0.125 cm by a micrometer of least count 0.001 cm. Find the Young's modulus of the meterial of the wire from this data.
