In the determination of young’s modulus Y=4MLgπld2by using Searle’s method, a wire of length L = 2m and diameter 0.5mm is used. For a load of M = 2.5 kg an extension of l = 0.25mm in the length of the wire is observed. Quantities ‘d’ and ‘l’ are measured using screw gauge and micrometer respectively. They have the same pitch of 0.5mm.The number of divisions of their circular scale is 100. The contribution to the maximum possible error of the Y measurement is
