Time intervals measured by a clock give the following readings: $1.25 \; s, 1.24 \; s, 1.27 \; s, 1.21 \; s$,and $1.28 \; s$. What is the percentage relative error of the observations?

The unit of percentage error is

Explain the statement: "The accuracy of a measurement cannot be determined by absolute error,but only by percentage error."

The current-voltage relation of a diode is given by $I = (e^{1000V/T} - 1) \text{ mA}$,where the applied voltage $V$ is in volts and the temperature $T$ is in Kelvin. If a student makes an error of $\pm 0.01 \text{ V}$ while measuring the voltage to obtain a current of $5 \text{ mA}$ at $300 \text{ K}$,what will be the error in the value of current in $\text{mA}$?

$A$ physical quantity $A$ is dependent on four other physical quantities $p, q, r,$ and $s$ as given by the relation $A = \frac{\sqrt{pq}}{r^2s^3}.$ If the percentage errors of measurement in $p, q, r,$ and $s$ are $1\%, 3\%, 0.5\%,$ and $0.33\%$ respectively,then the maximum percentage error in $A$ is .......... $\%$.

$A$ body of mass $(5 \pm 0.5) \ kg$ is moving with a velocity of $(20 \pm 0.4) \ m/s$. Its kinetic energy will be
