In the determination of Young's modulus by using Searle's method, a wire of length L = 2 m and diameter d = 0.5 mm is used. For a load M = 2.5 kg, an extension l = 0.25 mm in the length of the wire is observed. Quantities d and l are measured using a screw gauge and a micrometer, respectively. They have the same pitch of 0.5 mm. The number of divisions on their circular scale is 100. The contributions to the maximum probable error of the Y measurement

Answer: (A)

Solution

Both instruments have least count mm, so mm. From : $ = Missing argument for \dfrac\dfrac{Δ
