In the determination of Young’s modulus by using Searle’s method, a wire of length L=2m and diameter d=0.5mm is used. For a load M=2.5 kg, an extension in the length of the wire is observed. Quantities d and are measured using a screw gauge and a micrometer, respectively. They have the same pitch of 0.5 mm. The number of divisions on their circular scale is 100. The contributions to the maximum probable scale is 100. The contributions to the maximum probable error of the Y measurement
View answer and explanation
Correct option: A
Due to the errors in the measurements of d and are the same
Option A is correct because the percentage error in both d and l measurements is the same (2%).
