$A$ dust particle has a mass of $10^{-11} \, g$,a diameter of $10^{-4} \, cm$,and a velocity of $10^{-4} \, cm \, sec^{-1}$. If the error in the measurement of velocity is $0.1 \%$,what is the uncertainty in its position?

  • A
    $7.67 \times 10^{-8} \, cm$
  • B
    $6.27 \times 10^{-3} \, cm$
  • C
    $3.66 \times 10^{-4} \, cm$
  • D
    $5.27 \times 10^{-10} \, cm$
