A physical quantity a is related to four observable x y z and m as follows A equal to xy/mz the percentage errors of measures in x y z and m are 4 % 3% 2% and 1% respectively what is the percentage error in the quantity A

Answer»

Answer:

Given:

A RELATIONSHIP has been provided as follows :

\boxed{ \huge{ \sf{a =  \dfrac{xy}{mz}}}}

To find:

Max error in "a" when error of each quantity has been given.

Concept:

Max error can be found by adding the error of each quantity MULTIPLIED with the respective exponential in the given Equation.

Calculation:

\boxed{ \sf{ \red{ \frac{ \Delta a}{a}  =  \dfrac{ \Delta x}{x}  +  \dfrac{ \Delta y}{y} +  \dfrac{ \Delta m}{m} +  \dfrac{ \Delta z}{z}}}}

\sf{ \implies  \dfrac{ \Delta a}{a} = 4 + 3 + <klux>1</klux> + 2}

\sf{ \implies  \dfrac{ \Delta a}{a} = 10\%}

So final answer :

\boxed{ \sf{max \: error = 10\%}}

Additional information:

  • For max error , always ADD the individual errors.
  • Remember to MULTIPLY each term with exponential (here exponential was 1)
  • Express the final answer in percentage.
