$Assertion$ : When percentage errors in the measurement of mass and velocity are $1\%$ and $2\%$ respectively,the percentage error in $K.E.$ is $5\%$.
$Reason$ : $\frac{{\Delta E}}{E} = \frac{{\Delta m}}{m} + \frac{{2\Delta v}}{v}$

    If both Assertion and Reason are correct and the Reason is a correct explanation of the Assertion.
  • B

$A$ student determined Young's Modulus of elasticity using the formula $Y = \frac{M g L^{3}}{4 b d^{3} \delta}$. The value of $g$ is taken to be $9.8 \, m/s^2$, without any significant error. His observations are as follows:
Physical QuantityLeast count and Observed value
Mass $(M)$$1 \, g$ and $2 \, kg$
Length of bar $(L)$$1 \, mm$ and $1 \, m$
Breadth of bar $(b)$$0.1 \, mm$ and $4 \, cm$
Thickness of bar $(d)$$0.01 \, mm$ and $0.4 \, cm$
Depression $(\delta)$$0.01 \, mm$ and $5 \, mm$

Then the fractional error in the measurement of $Y$ is:

The period of oscillation of a simple pendulum is $T = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{l}{g}}$. The measured value of $l$ is $20.0 \text{ cm}$ known to $1 \text{ mm}$ accuracy,and the time for $100$ oscillations of the pendulum is found to be $90 \text{ s}$ using a wristwatch of $1 \text{ s}$ resolution. The accuracy in the determination of $g$ is ........ $\%$
