The percentage error in the measurement of a physical quantity $m$ given by $m = \pi \tan \theta$ is minimum when $\theta = \dots \dots \dots \dots \dots ^\circ$ (Assume that the error in $\theta$ remains constant).

The maximum percentage errors in the measurement of mass $(M)$,radius $(R)$,and angular velocity $(\omega)$ of a ring are $2 \%$,$1 \%$,and $1 \%$ respectively. Find the maximum percentage error in the measurement of its moment of inertia $(I = M R^2)$ about its geometric axis. (in $\%$)

Two intervals of time are measured as $\Delta t_1 = (2.00 \pm 0.02) \ s$ and $\Delta t_2 = (4.00 \pm 0.02) \ s$. The value of $\sqrt{(\Delta t_1)(\Delta t_2)}$ with correct significant figures and error is

The acceleration due to gravity is found up to an accuracy of $4\,\%$ on a planet. The energy supplied to a simple pendulum of known mass '$m$' to undertake oscillations of time period $T$ is being estimated. If the time period is measured to an accuracy of $3\,\%$,the accuracy to which $E$ is known is $..........\,\%$.

Explain least count and least count error. Write a note on least count error.

Two resistances are given as $R_1 = (10 \pm 0.5) \ \Omega$ and $R_2 = (15 \pm 0.5) \ \Omega$. The percentage error in the measurement of equivalent resistance when they are connected in parallel is (in $\%$)
