A force \(F\) is applied on a square plate of length \(L\). If the percentage error in the determination of \(L\) is \(3 \%\) and in \(F\) is \(4 \%\), then permissible error in the calculation of pressure is

  1. A \(13 \%\)
  2. B \(10 \%\)
  3. C \(7 \%\)
  4. D \(12 \%\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(10 \%\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given, Percentage error in length \(=3 \%\) Percentage error in force \(=4 \%\) We know that, Pressure, \(\quad P=\frac{F}{A}\) Area of square \(=(L)^2\)…
