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
0.529 cm
0.521 cm
0.053 cm
0.525 cm
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
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
A screw gauge has least count of 0.01 mm and there are 50 divisions in its circular scale. The pitch of the screw gauge is
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
