Question 140: Units , Dimensions and Error Analysis

Question

A torque meter is calibrated to reference standards of mass, length and time each with $5 \%$ accuracy. After calibration, the measured torque with this torque meter will have net accuracy of :

Accepted Answer

We know that, torque applied on a rotating body,
$
\begin{aligned}
	au &=	ext { Force } 	imes 	ext { Perpendicular distance } \\
\Rightarrow \quad[	au] &=\left[\mathrm{MLT}^{-2}ight][\mathrm{L}] \Rightarrow[	au]=\left[\mathrm{ML}^2 \mathrm{~T}^{-2}ight]
\end{aligned}
$
$ \Rightarrow {{\Delta 	au } \over 	au } = {{\Delta M} \over M} + 2{{\Delta L} \over L} + 2{{\Delta T} \over T}$
$ = 5 	imes 5\%  = 25\% $
