The length of a cylinder was measured using a vernier calipers several times. The following reading were obtained (in cm) : 1.12, 1.11,1.13, 1.10,1.14,1.15,1.16. Calculate (i) mean value of the length (ii) the absolute error in each measurement (iii) mean absolute error (iv) relative error and (v) percentage error. Write down the result in terms of mean absolute error and percentage error.

Explanation

To solve the problem step by step, we will follow the instructions given in the question and calculate each required value systematically.

### Step 1: Calculate the Mean Value of the Length

To find the mean value of the length, we need to sum all the readings and divide by the number of readings.

**Readings:**
1.12, 1.11, 1.13, 1.10, 1.14, 1.15, 1.16
