In an experiment to determine the Young's modulus of wire of a length exactly 1m, the extension in the length of the wire is measured as 0.4mm with an uncertainty of ± 0.02mm when a load of 1kg is applied. The diameter of the wire is measured as 0.4mm with an uncertainty of ± 0.02mm. The error in the measurement of Young's modulus (ΔY) is found to be x * 1010Nm-2. The value of x is _________.

(take g = 10 ms-2)

L = 1 m

ΔL=0.4*103m

m=1kg

d = 0.4 * 10-3 m

FA=yΔLL

y=FLAΔL= (mg)*1 (πd24)*0.4*103

Δy=0.1*0.199*1012=1.99*1010

= 1.99
