Question

A distance of 100 cm is measured using a metre scale of least count 0.1 cm find the percentage error in the measurement.

Answer 1

your ans is 0.1 % ....................

Answer 2

Answer:

The percentage error in the distance is 0.1%.

Explanation:

Given that,

Distance d = 100 cm

Least count = 0.1 cm

The percentage error equal to the difference between experimental value and exact value divided by exact value.

The percentage error in the distance is

$d\%=\dfrac{\Delta d}{d}\times100$

$d\%=\dfrac{0.1}{100}\times100$

Hence, The percentage error in the distance is 0.1%.
