The relative error in the determination of the surface area of a sphere is $\alpha $. Then the relative error in the determination of its volume is
  • A$\frac{2}{3}\alpha $
  • B$\frac{5}{2}\alpha $
  • C$\frac{3}{2}\alpha $
  • D$\alpha $

Relative eroor in surface area, $\frac{\Delta s}{s}=2 \times \frac{\Delta r}{r}=\alpha$ and
relative error in volume, $\frac{\Delta v}{v}=3 \times \frac{\Delta r}{r}$
$\therefore$ Relative error in volume w. r.t relative error in area,
$\frac{\Delta v}{v}=\frac{3}{2} \alpha$

    In the determination of Young's modulus $\left(Y=\frac{4 MLg }{\pi / d ^2}\right)$ 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 $\ell=0.25 \ mm$ in the length of the wire is observed. Quantities $d$ and $\ell$ 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
