Find the absolute error in the fourth and eighth observations.

If $P = \frac{A^3}{B^{5/2}}$ and $\Delta A$ is the absolute error in $A$ and $\Delta B$ is the absolute error in $B$,then the absolute error $\Delta P$ in $P$ is:

The voltage across a lamp is $(6.0 \pm 0.3) \text{ V}$ and the current passing through it is $(4.0 \pm 0.1) \text{ A}$. The power consumed in watt will be (using percentage error):

$A$ body of mass $(5 \pm 0.5) \ kg$ is moving with a velocity of $(20 \pm 0.4) \ m/s$. Its kinetic energy will be

During Searle's experiment,the zero of the Vernier scale lies between $3.20 \times 10^{-2} \text{ m}$ and $3.25 \times 10^{-2} \text{ m}$ of the main scale. The $20^{\text{th}}$ division of the Vernier scale exactly coincides with one of the main scale divisions. When an additional load of $2 \text{ kg}$ is applied to the wire,the zero of the Vernier scale still lies between $3.20 \times 10^{-2} \text{ m}$ and $3.25 \times 10^{-2} \text{ m}$ of the main scale,but now the $45^{\text{th}}$ division of the Vernier scale coincides with one of the main scale divisions. The length of the thin metallic wire is $2 \text{ m}$ and its cross-sectional area is $8 \times 10^{-7} \text{ m}^2$. The least count of the Vernier scale is $1.0 \times 10^{-5} \text{ m}$. The maximum percentage error in the Young's modulus of the wire is:
