In an experiment , the following observations were recorded:
`L = 2.820 m , M = 3.00 kg , l = 0.087 cm , diameter , D = 0.041 cm`. Taking ` g = 9.81 m s^(-2)` and using the formula , `Y = ( 4MgL)/( pi D^(2) l)` , find the maximum permissible error in `Y`.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

`Y = ( 4 MgL)/(pi D^(2) l)`. So maximum permissible error in `Y`
`(Delta Y)/( Y) xx 100 = (( Delta M)/( M) + ( Delta g)/( g) + ( Delta L)/(L) + ( 2 Delta D)/( D) + ( Delta l)/(l)) xx 100`
` = ((1)/(300) + (1)/(9.81) + (1)/(9820) + 2 xx (1)/( 41) + (1)/(87)) xx 100`
` = 0.065 xx 100 = 6.5%`
