Question on: JAMB Physics - 1993
The external and internal diameter of a tube are measured as (32 ± 2)mm and (21 ± 1)mm respectively. Determine the percentage error in the thickness of the tube.
A
27%
B
14%
C
9%
D
3%
Ask EduPadi AI for a detailed answer
Correct Option: C
Actual thickness = 34 - 22 = 12
error thickness = 30 - 20 = 10
error = 12 - 10 = 2mm that is, (11 ± 1)mm
%error = (\frac{1}{11}) x (\frac{100}{1})
= 9%
