In order to determine the Young's Modulus of a wire of radius $0.2\, cm$ (measured using a scale of least count $=0.001\, cm )$ and length $1 \,m$ (measured using a scale of least count $=1\, mm$ ), a weight of mass $1\, kg$ (measured using a scale of least count $=1 \,g$ ) was hanged to get the elongation of $0.5\, cm$ (measured using a scale of least count $0.001\, cm$ ). What will be the fractional error in the value of Young's Modulus determined by this experiment? (in $\%$)
