A physical quantity \(y\) is represented by the formula \(y=m^{2}\, r^{-4}\, g^{x}\,l^{-\frac{3}{2}}\). If the percentage error found in \(y, m, r, l\) and \(g\) are \(18,1,0.5,4\) and \(p\) respectively, then find the value of \(x\) and \(p\).

  1. A \(4\) and \(\pm 3\)
  2. B \(5\) and \(\pm 2\)
  3. C \(8\) and \(\pm 2\)
  4. D \(\frac{16}{3}\) and \(\pm \frac{3}{2}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(\frac{16}{3}\) and \(\pm \frac{3}{2}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\frac{\Delta y}{y}=\frac{2 \Delta m}{m}+\frac{4 \Delta r}{r}+\frac{x \Delta g}{g}+\frac{3}{2} \frac{\Delta \ell}{\ell}\) \(18=2(1)+4(0.5)+x p+\frac{3}{2}(4)\) \(8=x p\) By checking from options. \(x=\frac{16}{3}, p=\pm \frac{3}{2}\)
