Young's modulus is determined by the equation given by
Y=49000lmcm2dyne where
M is the mass and
l is the extension of wire used in the experiment. Now error in Young modules
(Y) is estimated by taking data from
M−l plot in graph paper. The smallest scale divisions are
5 g and
0.02 cm along load axis and extension axis respectively. If the value of
M and
l are
500 g and
2 cm respectively then percentage error of
Y is :
