In an experiment to measure the height of a bridge by dropping stone into water underneath, if the error in measurement of time of 0.1 s at the end of 2s, then the error in estimation of height of bridge will be

A

0.49 m

B

0.98 m

C

1.96 m

D

2.12 m

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
`h=ut +1/2 at^2`
`u =0`
`h=1/2 "gt"^2 =1/2 xx9.8 xx(2)^2 = 19.6 m`
`implies (Deltah)/h=2 (Deltat)/t =2 ((0.1)/2) = 0.1`
`Deltah = 0.1 xx19.6 = 1.96 m`

The time period (T) of small oscillations of the surface of a liquid drop depends on its surface tension (s), the density (rho) of the liquid and it's mean radius (r) as T = cs^(x) rho^(y)r^(z) . If in the measurement of the mean radius of the drop, the error is 2 % , the error in the measurement of surface tension and density both are of 1% . Find the percentage error in measurement of the time period.

While measuring the acceleration due to gravity by a simple pendulum, a student makes an error of 1% in the measurement of length and an error of 2% in the measurement of time. If he uses the formula for g as g=4pi^(2)((L)/(T^(2))) , then the percentage error in the measurement of g will be
