Detailed Solution

Given,

F=50πkN, r=5mm, L=1m

we know that Young's modulus,

Y=FLAl

substituting the values,

Y=50π×103×1π×25×10-6×l=2×109l

The Young's modulus will have a maximum value of 2×109.
The change in young's modulus ratio will then be calculated as YY=2rr+ll.

If we look at this equation, we can see that the uncertainty in length contributes the least to changes in young's modulus and the uncertainty in radius contributes the most to changes in young's modulus.

Hence the correct answer is The maximum value of γ that can be determined is 1014N/m2.
