  • AThe maximum value of $Y$ that can be determined is $10^{14}\,N/m^2$
  • B$\frac{{\Delta Y}}{Y}$ gets minimum contribution from the uncertainty in the length
  • C$\frac{{\Delta Y}}{Y}$ gets its maximum contribution from the uncertainty in strain 
  • D
    The figure of merit is the largest for the length of the rod.
