The density of a material in the shape of a cube is determined by measuring three sides of the cube and its mass. If the relative errors in measuring the mass and length are respectively $1.5\%$ and $1\%$, the maximum error in determining the density is ........ $\%$

B$4.5$
b $Density\left( d \right) = \frac{{mass\left( M \right)}}{{volume\left( V \right)}} = \frac{M}{{{L^3}}}$
$\therefore Error\,in\,density,\,\frac{{\Delta d}}{d} = \frac{{\Delta M}}{M} + \frac{{3\Delta L}}{L}$
$ = 1.5\% + 3\left( {1\% } \right) = 4.5\% $

Number of particles is given by $n = - D\frac{{{n_2} - {n_1}}}{{{x_2} - {x_1}}}$ crossing a unit area perpendicular to X-axis in unit time, where ${n_1}$ and ${n_2}$ are number of particles per unit volume for the value of $x$ meant to ${x_2}$ and ${x_1}$. Find dimensions of $D$ called as diffusion constant
The period of oscillation of a simple pendulum is given by $T = 2\pi \sqrt {\frac{l}{g}} $ where $l$ is about $100 \,cm$ and is known to have $1\,mm$ accuracy. The period is about $2\,s$. The time of $100$ oscillations is measured by a stop watch of least count $0.1\, s$. The percentage error in $g$ is ......... $\%$
$1$ joule of energy is to be converted into new system of units in which length is measured in $10$ metre, mass in $10 \,kg$ and time in $1$ minute. The numerical value of $1 \,J$ in the new system is
In a particular system of units, a physical quantity can be expressed in terms of the electric charge $c$, electron mass $m_c$, Planck's constant $h$, and Coulomb's constant $k=\frac{1}{4 \pi \epsilon_0}$, where $\epsilon_0$ is the permittivity of vacuum. In terms of these physical constants, the dimension of the magnetic field is $[B]=[c]^\alpha\left[m_c\right]^\beta[h]^\gamma[k]^\delta$. The value of $\alpha+\beta+\gamma+\delta$ is. . . . .
A physical quantity $'x'$ is calculated from the relation $x = \frac{{{a^2}{b^3}}}{{c\sqrt d }}$ in $a$,$b$,$c$ and $d$ are $2\%$, $1 \%$, $3\%$ and $4\%$ respectively, what is the percentage error in $x$.
