A student measures the distance traversed in free fall of a body, initially at rest in a given time. He uses this data to estimate g, the acceleration due to gravity. If the maximum percentage errors in measurement of the distance and the time are and respectively, the percentage error in the estimation of g is
View answer and explanation
Correct option: B
Option B () is correct because the percentage error in g is the sum of the percentage error in distance and twice the percentage error in time.

Statement-I: Random errors can be positive or negative.
Statement-II: Cause of random errors are uncertain. An object is moving through the liquid. The viscous damping force acting on it is proportional to the velocity. Then dimension of constant of proportionality is The error due to parallax is a: 2.34 is obtained by rounding of the number The dimensional formula of self-inductance is The dimension of is that of
