To find the spring constant \((k)\) of a spring experimentally, a student commits \(2 \%\) positive error in the measurement of time and \(1 \%\) negative error in measurement of mass. The percentage error in determining value of \(\mathrm{k}\) is _______.

  1. A \(3 \%\)
  2. B \(1 \%\)
  3. C \(4 \%\)
  4. D \(5 \%\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(5 \%\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\mathrm{T}=2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{\mathrm{m}}{\mathrm{k}}}\) \(\mathrm{T}^2 \propto \frac{\mathrm{m}}{\mathrm{k}}\) \(\frac{2 \Delta \mathrm{T}}{\mathrm{T}} \%=\frac{\Delta \mathrm{m}}{\mathrm{m}} \%-\frac{\Delta \mathrm{k}}{\mathrm{k}} \%\)…
