$A$ balance is made using a uniform metre scale of mass $100 \ g$ and two plates each of mass $200 \ g$ fixed at the two ends of the scale. The balance is pivoted at the $45 \ cm$ mark. If a $300 \ g$ weight is placed in the plate at $0 \ cm$ to weigh vegetables placed in the plate at $100 \ cm$,what is the error in the measurement (in $g$)?

In the experiment of $Ohm's$ law,a potential difference of $5.0\, V$ is applied across the ends of a conductor of length $10.0\, cm$ and diameter of $5.00\, mm$. The measured current in the conductor is $2.00\, A$. The maximum permissible percentage error in the resistivity of the conductor is (in $\%$)
