In Poiseuille's method of determination of viscosity , what is the physical quantity that requires greater accuracy in measurement ? Formula eta = (pi P r^4)/(8 VI)

Turpentine oil is flowing through a tube of length 1 and radius r. The pressure difference between the two ends of the tube is p. The viscosity of oil is given by eta = (p(r^2 - x^2))/(4vl) where, v is the velocity of oil at distance x from the axis of the tube. The dimesions of eta are

The pressure on a square plate is measured by measuring the force on the plate and the length of the sides of the plate by using the formula P=(F)/(l^(2)) . If the maximum errors in the measurement of force and the length are 4% and 2% respectively and the maximum error in the measurement of pressure is x %, then the value of x is.
