To find the percentage error in the physical quantity \( x \) calculated from the relation \[ x = \frac{a^2 b^3}{c \sqrt{d}}, \] we will use the formula for the propagation of errors. The percentage error in a product or quotient of quantities can be determined by summing the relative errors (percentage errors) of each quantity, weighted by their respective powers in the formula. ...
