Q 11 :    

A quantity Q is formulated as X2Y+32Z25·X,Y, and Z are independent parameters which have fractional errors of 0.1, 0.2 and 0.5, respectively in measurement. The maximum fractional error of Q is          [2025]

  • 0.1

     

  • 0.8

     

  • 0.7

     

  • 0.6

Fractional error =2XX+32YY+25ZZ

                                      =2(0.1)+32(0.2)+25(0.5)

                                       = 0.2 + 0.3 + 0.2 = 0.7



Q 12 :    

A physical quantity Q is related to four observables a, b, c, d as follows:

Q=ab4cd where, a=(60±3) Pa; b=(20±0.1) m,

c=(40±0.2) Nsm2 and d=(50±0.1) m,

then the percentage error in Q is x1000, where x = __________.          [2025]



(77)

Q=ab4cd

 QQ=[aa+4bb+cc+dd]

 x1000=[360+4(0.120)+(0.240)+0.150]

 x=77



Q 13 :    

A physical quantity C is related to four other quantities p, q, r and s as follows

               C=pq2r3s

The percentage errors in the measurement of p, q, r and s are 1%, 2%, 3% and 2% respectively. The percentage error in the measurement of C will be __________ %.          [2025]

C=p1q2r3s1/2

(dCC)max=dPP+2dqq+3drr+12dss

                       =(1+2×2+3×3+12×2)%=15%
