An optical bench has 1.5 m long scale having four equal divisions in each cm. While measuring the focal length of a convex lens, the lens is kept at 75 cm mark of the scale and the object pin is kept at 45 cm mark. The image of the object pin on the other side of the lens overlaps with image pin that is kept at 135 cm mark. In this experiment, the percentage error in the measurement of the focal length of the lens is ..............

A steel wire of diameter $$0.5$$ $$mm$$ and Young's modulus $$2 \times {10^{11}}\,\,N{m^{ - 2}}$$ carries a load of mass $$M.$$ The length of the wire with the load is $$1.0$$ $$m.A$$ vernier scale with $$10$$ divisions is attached to the end of this wire. Next to the steel wire is a reference wire to which a main scale, of least count $$1.0$$ $$mm$$ , is attached. The $$10$$ divisions of the vernier scale correspond to $$9$$ divisions of the main scale. Initially, the zero of vernier scale coincides with the zero of main scale. If the load on the steel wire is increased by $$1.2$$ $$kg,$$ the vernier scale division which coincides with a main scale division is _____________. Take $$g = 10\,m\,{s^{ - 2}}.$$ and $$\pi = 3.2.$$

The energy of a system as a function of time t is given as E(t) = $${A^2}\exp \left( { - \alpha t} \right)$$, where $$\alpha = 0.2\,{s^{ - 1}}$$. The measurement of A has an error of 1.25 %. If the error in the measurement of time is 1.50 %, the percentage error in the value of E(t) at t = 5 s is

During Searle's experiment, zero of the Vernier scale lies between 3.20 $$ \times $$ 10^-2 m and 3.25 $$ \times $$ 10^-2 m of the main scale. The 20^th division of the Vernier scale exactly coincides with one of the main scale divisions. When an additional load of 2 kg is applied to the wire, the zero of the Vernier scale still lies between 3.20 $$ \times $$ 10^-2 m and 3.25 $$ \times $$ 10^-2 m of the main scale but now the 45^th division of Vernier scale coincides with one of the main scale divisions. The length of the thin metallic wire is 2 m and its cross-sectional area is 8 $$ \times $$ 10^-7 m². The least count of the Vernier scale is 1.0 $$ \times $$ 10^-5 m. The maximum percentage error in the Young's modulus of the wire is
