The resistance of a wire is determined by measuring the current flowing through it and the voltage difference across its ends. If the percentage error in the measurement of current and voltage difference is $3\%$ each,what will be the percentage error in the resistance of the wire?

$A$ current-carrying conductor obeys Ohm's law $(V = RI)$. If the current passing through the conductor is $I = (5 \pm 0.2) \text{ A}$ and the voltage developed is $V = (60 \pm 6) \text{ V}$, then find the percentage error in resistance $R$.

An experiment is performed to obtain the value of acceleration due to gravity $g$ by using a simple pendulum of length $L$. In this experiment,the time for $100$ oscillations is measured by using a watch of $1$ second least count,and the value is $90.0$ seconds. The length $L$ is measured by using a meter scale of least count $1$ mm,and the value is $20.0$ cm. The error in the determination of $g$ would be ........... $\%$.

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

The relative density of the material of a body is found by weighing it first in air and then in water. If the weight in air is $(5.00 \pm 0.05) \ N$ and the weight in water is $(4.00 \pm 0.05) \ N$,then the relative density along with the maximum permissible percentage error is:
