A torque meter is calibrated to reference standards of mass, length and time each with 5 % accuracy. After calibration, the measured torque with this torque meter will have net accuracy of
Options
- A15 %
- B25 %
- C75 %
- D5 %
Correct answer
B. 25 %
Step-by-step solution
Dimensional formula for Torque τ = ML 2   T - 2 Now the percentage error in torque can be calculated by τ % = 1 × ∆ M M + 2 × ∆ L L + 2 × ∆ T T × 100 ⇒ τ % = 25 %
