A physical quantity $y$ is represented by the formula $y=m^{2}\, r^{-4}\, g^{x}\,l^{-\frac{3}{2}}$. If the percentage error found in $y, m, r, l$ and $g$ are $18,1,0.5,4$ and $p$ respectively, then find the value of $x$ and $p$.
$4$ and $\pm 3$
$5$ and $\pm 2$
$8$ and $\pm 2$
$\frac{16}{3}$ and $\pm \frac{3}{2}$
The relative error in the measurement of the side of a cube is $0.027$. The relative error in the measurement of its volume is ..........
Resistance of a given wire is obtained by measuring the current flowing in it and the voltage difference applied across it. If the percentage errors in the measurement of the current and the voltage difference are $3\%$ each, then error in the value of resistance of the wire is ........ $\%$
The measured value of the length of a simple pendulum is $20 \mathrm{~cm}$ with $2 \mathrm{~mm}$ accuracy. The time for $50$ oscillations was measured to be $40$ seconds with $1$ second resolution. From these measurements, the accuracy in the measurement of acceleration due to gravity is $\mathrm{N} \%$. The value of $\mathrm{N}$ is:
Find the relative error in $Z,$ if $Z=\frac{A^{4} B^{1 / 3}}{ C D^{3 / 2}}$
