MCQ
A physical quantity $z$ depends on four observables $a,$ $b,$ $c$ and $d ,$ as $z =\frac{ a ^{2} b ^{\frac{2}{3}}}{\sqrt{ c } d ^{3}} .$ The percentage of error in the measurement of $a, b, c$ and $d$ are $2 \%, 1.5 \%, 4 \%$ and $2.5 \%$ respectively. The percentage of error in $z$ is$......\%$
  • A
    $12.5$
  • $14.5$
  • C
    $16.5$
  • D
    $13.5$

Answer

Correct option: B.
$14.5$
b
$\frac{\Delta Z}{Z}=\frac{2 \Delta a }{ a }+\frac{2}{3} \frac{\Delta b }{ b }+\frac{1}{2} \frac{\Delta c }{ c }+\frac{3 \Delta d }{ d }=14.5 \%$

In the figure, a ladder of mass $m$ is shown leaning against a wall. It is in static equilibrium making an angle $\theta$ with the horizontal floor. The coefficient of friction between the wall and the ladder is $\mu_1$ and that between the floor and the ladder is $\mu_2$. The normal reaction of the wall on the ladder is $N_1$ and that of the floor is $N_2$. If the ladder is about to slip, then
