An experiment measures quantities $a, b,$ and $c$ and then $x$ is calculated from $x = \frac{a^{1/2} b^2}{c^3}.$ If the percentage errors in $a, b,$ and $c$ are $\pm 1\%, \pm 3\%,$ and $\pm 2\%$ respectively,then the percentage error in $x$ is:

  • A
    $\pm 12.5\%$
  • B
    $\pm 7\%$
  • C
    $\pm 1\%$
  • D
    $\pm 4\%$

$A$ calorie is a unit of heat or energy and it equals about $4.2 \; J$ where $1 \; J = 1 \; kg \; m^2 \; s^{-2}$. Suppose we employ a system of units in which the unit of mass equals $\alpha \; kg$, the unit of length equals $\beta \; m$, and the unit of time equals $\gamma \; s$. Show that a calorie has a magnitude $4.2 \; \alpha^{-1} \beta^{-2} \gamma^2$ in terms of the new units.
