A physical quantity `P` is given by `P = (A^(3) B^(1//2))/( C^(-4) D^(3//2))`. Which quantity among `A, B , C, and D` brings in the maximum percentage error in `P`?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To determine which quantity among A, B, C, and D brings the maximum percentage error in the physical quantity \( P \), we start with the expression for \( P \): \[ P = \frac{A^3 B^{1/2}}{C^{-4} D^{3/2}} \] ### Step 1: Identify the contributions of each variable to the error in \( P \) ...
