A thin long rod has a radius of . A force of is applied at one end to determine its Young's modulus. Assume that the force is exactly known. If the least count in the measurement of all lengths is , which of the following statements is false?
Options
- AThe maximum value of that can be determined is
- B gets minimum contribution from the uncertainty in the length.
- C gets its maximum contribution from the uncertainty in strain.
- DThe figure of merit is the largest for the length of the rod.
Correct answer
A. The maximum value of that can be determined is
Step-by-step solution
Given, , and .
Least count in length is
Young's modulus is given by
For, ,
Here is unknown so we can not find the
The change in young’s modulus ratio is .
As seen from above, the minimum contribution to change in young’s modulus is given by the uncertainty in the length and the maximum contributing to the uncertainty in young’s modulus is given by uncertainty in radius.
Hence, correct option is .
