The time period of a simple harmonic oscillator is $T = 2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{m}{k}}$. The measured value of mass $(m)$ of the object is $10 \ g$ with an accuracy of $10 \ mg$, and the time for $50$ oscillations of the spring is found to be $60 \ s$ using a watch of $2 \ s$ resolution. The percentage error in the determination of the spring constant $(k)$ is . . . . . . %.

  • A

  • B
    $3.35$
  • C
    $7.60$
  • D

In an experiment,four quantities $a, b, c, d$ are measured with percentage errors $2\%$,$1\%$,$3\%$ and $5\%$,respectively. Quantity $P$ is calculated as $P = \frac{a^2 b^2}{c d}$. Find the percentage error in measuring $P$. (in $\%$)

The International Avogadro Coordination project created the world's most perfect sphere using Silicon in its crystalline form. The diameter of the sphere is $9.4 \,cm$ with an uncertainty of $0.2 \,nm$. The atoms in the crystals are packed in cubes of side $a$. The side is measured with a relative error of $2 \times 10^{-9}$,and each cube has $8$ atoms in it. Then,the relative error in the mass of the sphere is closest to (assume molar mass of Silicon and Avogadro's number to be known precisely)
