General Physics Question 17

Question 17

  1. During Searle’s experiment, zero of the vernier scale lies between 3.20×102 m and 3.25×102 m of the main scale. The 20th division of the vernier scale exactly coincides with one of the main scale divisions. When an additional load of 2 kg is applied to the wire, the zero of the vernier scale still lies between 3.20×102 m and 3.25×102 m of the main scale but now the 45 th division of vernier scale coincides with one of the main scale divisions. The length of the thin metallic wire is 2 m and its cross-sectional area is 8×107 m2. The least count of the vernier scale is 1.0×105 m. The maximum percentage error in the Young’s modulus of the wire is
