A student determined Young's Modulus of elasticity using the formula Y =   M g L 3 4 b d 3 δ . The value of g is taken to be 9.8 m/s2, without any significant error, his observation are as follows:

                   

Physical Quantity

Least count of the Equipment used for measurement

Observed value

Mass (M)

1 g

2 kg

Length of bar (L)

1 mm

1 m

 

Breadth of bar (b)

0.1 mm

4 cm

Thickness of bar (d)

0.01 mm

0.4 cm

Depression  

0.01 mm

5 mm

Then the fractional error in the measurement of Y is:

Option 1 - <p>0.083</p>
Option 2 - <p>0.0155</p>
Option 3 - <p>0.0083</p>
Option 4 - <p>0.155</p>

Correct Option - 2
Detailed Solution:

Y = M g L 3 4 b d 3 δ

For significant error in Y

= Δ M M + 3 Δ L L + Δ b b + 3 Δ d d + Δ δ δ              

= 1 * 1 0 3 2 + 3 * 1 0 3 1 + 1 0 2 4 + 3 * 0 . 0 1 * 1 0 1 0 . 4 + 1 0 2 5             

= 0.0155

In first condition R1 = 36 Ω  

In second condition R2 = 18  Ω

P 1 = V 2 R 1 = ( 2 4 0 ) 2 3 6               

P 2 = V 2 R 2 + V 2 R 2 = ( 2 4 0 ) 2 1 8 + ( 2 4 0 ) 2 1 8               

P 2 = ( 2 4 0 ) 2 9               

So   P 1 P 2 = ( 2 4 0 ) 2 / 3 6 ( 2 4 0 ) 2 / 9 = 1 4
