The original length of wire is `(153.7 pm 0.6) cm`. It is streched to `(155.3 pm 0.2)` cm. Calculate the elongation in the wire with error limits.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
`( 1.6 pm 0.8)` m
Elongation `= L_2 - L_1`
` " " = (155.3 pm 0.2) - (153.7 pm 0.6)`
`" " (1.6 pm 0.8)` cm
