To find the spring constant (k)(k) of a spring experimentally, a student commits 2%2 \% positive error in the measurement of time and 1%1 \% negative error in measurement of mass. The percentage error in determining value of kk is :

Options

  1. A5%5 \%
  2. B1%1 \%
  3. C3%3 \%
  4. D4%4 \%

Correct answer

A. 5%5 \%

Step-by-step solution

T=2πmkT2∝mk2ΔTT%=Δmm%−Δkk%Δkk%=Δmm%−2ΔTT%Δkk%=(−1)%−2(2)%=∣−5%∣=5%\begin{aligned} & \mathrm{T}=2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{\mathrm{m}}{\mathrm{k}}} \\ & \mathrm{T}^2 \propto \frac{\mathrm{m}}{\mathrm{k}} \\ & \frac{2 \Delta \mathrm{T}}{\mathrm{T}} \%=\frac{\Delta \mathrm{m}}{\mathrm{m}} \%-\frac{\Delta \mathrm{k}}{\mathrm{k}} \% \\ & \frac{\Delta \mathrm{k}}{\mathrm{k}} \%=\frac{\Delta \mathrm{m}}{\mathrm{m}} \%-\frac{2 \Delta \mathrm{T}}{\mathrm{T}} \% \\ & \frac{\Delta \mathrm{k}}{\mathrm{k}} \%=(-1) \%-2(2) \%=|-5 \%|=5 \%\end{aligned}
