In searle's experiment, which is used to find Young's modulus of elasticity, the diameter of experimental wire is D= 0.05cm(measursd by a scale of least count 0.001 cm) and length is L =110cm( measured by a scale of least count 0.1 cm). A weight of 50 N causes an extension of l= 0.125 cm( measured by a micrometer of least count 0.001 cm). Find maximum possible error in the values of Young's modulus. Screw gauge and meter scale are free from error.
