The errors in the measurement which arise due to unpredictable fluctuations in temperature and voltage supply are :
Random errors
Instrumental errors
Personal errors
Least count errors
A body travels uniformly a distance of $(13.8 \pm 0.2) m$ in a time $(4.0 \pm 0.3) s$. Its velocity with error limits and percentage error is
An optical bench has $1.5 m$ long scale having four equal divisions in each $cm$. While measuring the focal length of a convex lens, the lens is kept at $75 cm$ mark of the scale and the object pin is kept at $45 cm$ mark. The image of the object pin on the other side of the lens overlaps with image pin that is kept at $135 cm$ mark. In this experiment, the percentage error in the measurement of the focal length of the lens is. . . . .
In an experiment of determine the Young's modulus of wire of a length exactly $1\; m$, the extension in the length of the wire is measured as $0.4\,mm$ with an uncertainty of $\pm 0.02\,mm$ when a load of $1\,kg$ is applied. The diameter of the wire is measured as $0.4\,mm$ with an uncertainty of $\pm 0.01\,mm$. The error in the measurement of Young's modulus $(\Delta Y)$ is found to be $x \times 10^{10}\,Nm ^{-2}$. The value of $x$ is
$\left[\right.$ Take $\left.g =10\,m / s ^{2}\right]$
In the expression for time period $T$ of simple pendulum $T=2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{l}{g}}$, if the percentage error in time period $T$ and length $l$ are $2 \%$ and $2 \%$ respectively then percentage error in acceleration due to gravity $g$ is equal to ......... $\%$
The density of a cube is measured by measuring its mass and the length of its sides. If the maximum error in the measurement of mass and length are $3\%$ and $2\%$ respectively, then find the maximum error in the measurement of the density of cube.......... $\%$
