In an experiment, the coefficient of viscosity (in $mPa \cdot s$) of a liquid was determined as $2.62, 2.68, 2.58, 2.57, 2.54$ and $2.55$. The mean absolute error in the determination of the coefficient of viscosity of the liquid is

During Searle's experiment,the zero of the Vernier scale lies between $3.20 \times 10^{-2} \text{ m}$ and $3.25 \times 10^{-2} \text{ m}$ of the main scale. The $20^{\text{th}}$ division of the Vernier scale exactly coincides with one of the main scale divisions. When an additional load of $2 \text{ kg}$ is applied to the wire,the zero of the Vernier scale still lies between $3.20 \times 10^{-2} \text{ m}$ and $3.25 \times 10^{-2} \text{ m}$ of the main scale,but now the $45^{\text{th}}$ division of the Vernier scale coincides with one of the main scale divisions. The length of the thin metallic wire is $2 \text{ m}$ and its cross-sectional area is $8 \times 10^{-7} \text{ m}^2$. The least count of the Vernier scale is $1.0 \times 10^{-5} \text{ m}$. The maximum percentage error in the Young's modulus of the wire is:

The initial and final temperatures of water in a container are observed to be $16 \pm 0.6 \ ^\circ C$ and $56 \pm 0.3 \ ^\circ C$. What will be the rise in temperature of the water?

In an experiment of a simple pendulum,the time period measured was $50 \, s$ for $25$ vibrations when the length of the simple pendulum was taken as $100 \, cm$. If the least count of the stopwatch is $0.1 \, s$ and that of the meter scale is $0.1 \, cm$,then the maximum possible error in the value of $g$ is .......... $\%$
