The International Avogadro Coordination project created the world's most perfect sphere using Silicon in its crystalline form. The diameter of the sphere is $9.4 \,cm$ with an uncertainty of $0.2 \,nm$. The atoms in the crystals are packed in cubes of side $a$. The side is measured with a relative error of $2 \times 10^{-9}$,and each cube has $8$ atoms in it. Then,the relative error in the mass of the sphere is closest to (assume molar mass of Silicon and Avogadro's number to be known precisely)

  • A
    $6.4 \times 10^{-9}$
  • B
    $4.0 \times 10^{-10}$
  • C
    $1.2 \times 10^{-8}$
  • D
    $5.0 \times 10^{-8}$

$A$ metal wire has mass $(0.4 \pm 0.002) \, g$,radius $(0.3 \pm 0.001) \, mm$ and length $(5 \pm 0.02) \, cm$. The maximum possible percentage error in the measurement of density will nearly be $.......\%$

In an experiment for the measurement of $g$ using a simple pendulum,the time period was measured with an accuracy of $0.2 \%$ while the length was measured with an accuracy of $0.5 \%$. The percentage accuracy in the value of $g$ thus obtained is: (in $\%$)

Write the types of errors in the measurement of a physical quantity and explain them.

Let $x = \frac{a^2 b^2}{c}$ be a physical quantity. If the percentage errors in the measurement of physical quantities $a, b,$ and $c$ are $2\%, 3\%,$ and $4\%$ respectively,then the percentage error in the measurement of $x$ is: (in $\%$)

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 the cube.
