The angle of 1' (minute of arc) in radian is nearly equal to
In an experiment, four quantities a, b, c and d are measured with percentage error 1%, 2%, 3% and 4%, respectively. Quantity P is calculated as follows:
error in P is
A student measured the diameter of a small steel ball using a screw gauge of least count 0.001 cm. The main scale reading is 5 mm and zero of circular scale division coincides with 25 divisions above the reference level.
If screw gauge has a zero error of -0.004 cm, the correct diameter of the ball is
In an experiment, the percentage of error occurred in the measurement of physical quantities A, B, C and D are 1%, 2%, 3% and 4%, respectively. The maximum percentage of error in the measurement X, where
, will be
Time intervals measured by a clock give the following readings: 1.25 s, 1.24 s, 1.27 s, 1.21 s and 1.28 s
What is the percentage relative error of the observations
