$A$ student determined Young's Modulus of elasticity using the formula $Y = \frac{M g L^{3}}{4 b d^{3} \delta}$. The value of $g$ is taken to be $9.8 \, m/s^2$, without any significant error. His observations are as follows:
Physical QuantityLeast count and Observed value
Mass $(M)$$1 \, g$ and $2 \, kg$
Length of bar $(L)$$1 \, mm$ and $1 \, m$
Breadth of bar $(b)$$0.1 \, mm$ and $4 \, cm$
Thickness of bar $(d)$$0.01 \, mm$ and $0.4 \, cm$
Depression $(\delta)$$0.01 \, mm$ and $5 \, mm$

Then the fractional error in the measurement of $Y$ is:

The percentage error in the measurement of mass and velocity are $3 \%$ and $4 \%$ respectively. The percentage error in the measurement of kinetic energy is (in $\%$)

Students $I$,$II$,and $III$ perform an experiment for measuring the acceleration due to gravity $(g)$ using a simple pendulum. They use different lengths of the pendulum and/or record time for different numbers of oscillations. The observations are shown in the table. Least count for length $= 0.1 \text{ cm}$. Least count for time $= 0.1 \text{ s}$.
