Q.

In Searle's experiment, which is used to find Young's modulus of elasticity, the diameter of experimental wire is D=0.05 cm (measured by a scale of least count 0.001 cm) and length is L=110 cm (measured by a scale of least count 0.1 cm). A weight of 50 N causes an extension of l=0.125 cm (measured by a micrometer of least count 0.001 cm ). Find maximum possible error in the value of Young's modulus. Screw gauge and meter scale are free from error.

Detailed Solution

Young's modulus of elasticity is given byY= stress  strain =F/Al/L=FLLA=FLlπd24Substituting the values, we getY=50×1.1×41.25×10-3×π×5.0×10-42=2.24×1011 N/m2ΔYY=ΔLL+Δll+2Δdd=0.1110+0.0010.125+20.0010.05=0.0489ΔY=(0.0489)Y=(0.0489)×2.24×1011 N/m2=1.09×1010 N/m2
