The percentage errors in the measurement of mass and speed are 2% and 3% respectively. How much will be the maximum error in the estimation of the kinetic energy obtained by measuring mass and speed
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
B
\ \ 
\ \ % Error in K.E.
= % error in mass + 2 × % error in velocity
= 2 + 2 × 3 = 8 %
