The pressure on a circular plate is measured by measuring the force on the plate and the radius of the plate. If the errors in measurement of the force and the radius are \(5 \%\) and \(3 \%\) respectively, the percentage of error in the measurement of pressure is

  1. A \(8\)
  2. B \(14\)
  3. C \(11\)
  4. D \(12\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(11\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

We have \(\begin{aligned} & p=\frac{F}{A}=\frac{F}{\pi R^2} \\ & \text { So, } \frac{\Delta p}{p} \times 100=\frac{\Delta F}{F} \times 100+2 \frac{\Delta R}{R} \times 100 \\ & =5+2(3)=5+6=11 \\ & \Rightarrow \frac{\Delta p}{p} \times 100=11 \% \end{aligned}\)
