A wire has mass

(0.3\, \pm \,0.003)\,gm,

radius

(0.5 \pm \,0.005)\,cm\,

and length

(6 \pm \,0.06)\,cm\,

. The maximum percentage error in the measurement of its density is:-

View answer and explanation

Correct option: D

Option D (4%) is correct because the maximum percentage error in density is the sum of the percentage errors in mass, length, and twice the percentage error in radius.

Assertion :

\sqrt{\frac{\text { Modulus of elasticity }}{\text { Density }}}

has the unit

\mathrm{ms}^{-1} \text {. }

Reason: Acceleration has the dimensions of

\frac{1}{\left(\sqrt{\varepsilon_0 \mu_0}\right) t} \text {. }

The method of dimensional analysis can be used to derive which of the following relations? Statement-I: Dimensions of constant of proportionality of constants can be derived from dimensional method
Statement-II: Numerical value of constant of proportionality can be found from experiments only The dimensions of torque are The physical quantity having the dimensions

\left[ {{\mathrm{M}^{ - 1}}{\mathrm{L}^{ - 3}}{\mathrm{A}^2}{T^3}} \right]

is A quantity X is given by

{\varepsilon _0}L\frac{{\Delta V}}{{\Delta t}},\;

, where

{\varepsilon _0}

is the permittivity of free space, L is a length,

{\Delta V}

is a potential difference and

{\Delta t}

is a time interval. The dimensional formula for X is the same as that of
