A student in the laboratory measures thickness of a wire using screw gauge. The readings are \(1.22\,mm , 1.23\,mm , 1.19\,mm\) and \(1.20\,mm\). The percentage error is \(\frac{ x }{121} \%\). The value of \(x\) is ..............
Pick an option to check your answer.
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(B) \(150\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
\(X =\frac{1.22 mm +1.23 mm +1.19 mm +1.20 mm }{4}\)
\(X =1.21 mm\)
\(\Delta x =\frac{0.01+0.02+0.02+0.01}{4}=\frac{0.06}{4}=0.015\)
Percentage error \(=\frac{0.015}{1.21} \times 100\)
\(X =150\)
