- Young's modulus is determined by the equation given by \(\mathrm{Y}=49000 \frac{\mathrm{m}}{\ell} \frac{\text { dyne }}{\mathrm{cm}^2}\) where \(\mathrm{M}\) is the mass and \(\ell\) is the extension of wre used in the experiment. Now error in Young modules \((\mathrm{Y})\) is estimated by taking data from \(M-\ell\) plot in graph paper. The smallest scale divisions are \(5 \mathrm{~g}\) and \(0.02\) \(\mathrm{cm}\) along load axis and extension axis respectively. If the value of \(M\) and \(\ell\) are \(500 \mathrm{~g}\) and \(2 \mathrm{~cm}\) respectively then percentage error of \(\mathrm{Y}\) is _______.JEE Mains 2024 Hard
