The error in the measurement of force acting normally on a square plate is \(3 \%\). If the error in the measurement of the side of the plate is \(1 \%\), then the error in the determination of the pressure acting on the plate is

  1. A \(4 \%\)
  2. B \(3 \%\)
  3. C \(5 \%\)
  4. D \(6 \%\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(5 \%\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\( P = \frac{F}{A} = \frac{F}{s^2} \) \( \frac{\Delta P}{P} \times 100\% = \left( \frac{\Delta F}{F} + 2 \frac{\Delta s}{s} \right) \times 100\% \) \( \frac{\Delta P}{P} \times 100\% = 3\% + 2(1\%) \) \( \frac{\Delta P}{P} \times 100\% = 3\% + 2\% = 5\% \)
