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,
$\frac{\Delta v}{v}=\frac{3}{2} \alpha$

According to Newton, the viscous force acting between liquid layers of area $A$ and velocity gradient $\Delta v/\Delta z$ is given by $F = - \eta A\frac{{\Delta v}}{{\Delta z}}$ where $\eta $ is constant called coefficient of viscosity. The dimension of $\eta $ are
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
One main scale division of a vernier callipers is $a$ $cm$ and $n ^{\text {th }}$ division of the vernier scale coincide with $( n -1)^{\text {th }}$ division of the main scale. The least count of the callipers in $mm$ is
The position of a particle at time $t$ is given by the relation $x(t) = \left( {\frac{{{v_0}}}{\alpha }} \right)\,\,(1 - {e^{ - \alpha t}})$, where ${v_0}$ is a constant and $\alpha > 0$. The dimensions of ${v_0}$ and $\alpha $ are respectively
