$A$ thin $1 \, m$ long rod has a radius of $5 \, mm$. $A$ force of $50 \, \pi \, kN$ is applied at one end to determine its Young's modulus. Assume that the force is exactly known. If the least count in the measurement of all lengths is $0.01 \, mm$,which of the following statements is false?

  • A
    The maximum value of $Y$ that can be determined is $10^{14} \, N/m^2$.
  • B
    $\frac{\Delta Y}{Y}$ gets minimum contribution from the uncertainty in the length.
  • C
    $\frac{\Delta Y}{Y}$ gets its maximum contribution from the uncertainty in strain.
  • D
    The figure of merit is the largest for the length of the rod.
