The current in a diode is given by the equation $I = (e^{1000V/T} - 1)$,where $V$ is the applied voltage in volts and $T$ is the absolute temperature in kelvin. $A$ student measures the current as $11 \text{ mA}$ at $300 \text{ K}$. If the error in measuring voltage is $\pm 0.01 \text{ V}$,the error in the value of current in $\text{mA}$ is:

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

In an experiment to determine the acceleration due to gravity $g$,the formula used for the time period of a periodic motion is $T=2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{7(R-r)}{5 g}}$. The values of $R$ and $r$ are measured to be $(60 \pm 1) \text{ mm}$ and $(10 \pm 1) \text{ mm}$,respectively. In five successive measurements,the time period is found to be $0.52 \text{ s}, 0.56 \text{ s}, 0.57 \text{ s}, 0.54 \text{ s}$ and $0.59 \text{ s}$. The least count of the watch used for the measurement of time period is $0.01 \text{ s}$. Which of the following statement$(s)$ is(are) true?
$(A)$ The error in the measurement of $r$ is $10 \%$
$(B)$ The error in the measurement of $T$ is $3.57 \%$
$(C)$ The error in the measurement of $T$ is $2 \%$
$(D)$ The error in the determined value of $g$ is $11 \%$

To estimate $g$ from $g=4 \pi^2 \frac{L}{T^2}$,the error in the measurement of $L$ is $\pm 2 \%$ and the error in the measurement of $T$ is $\pm 3 \%$. The error in the estimated $g$ will be

Two intervals of time are measured as $\Delta t_1 = (2.00 \pm 0.02) \ s$ and $\Delta t_2 = (4.00 \pm 0.02) \ s$. The value of $\sqrt{(\Delta t_1)(\Delta t_2)}$ with correct significant figures and error is
