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

Select Option

Step-by-step Explanation

We know that, torque applied on a rotating body,

τ= Force × Perpendicular distance [τ]=[MLT2][L][τ]=[ML2 T2]\begin{aligned} \tau &=\text { Force } \times \text { Perpendicular distance } \\\\ \Rightarrow \quad[\tau] &=\left[\mathrm{MLT}^{-2}\right][\mathrm{L}] \Rightarrow[\tau]=\left[\mathrm{ML}^2 \mathrm{~T}^{-2}\right] \end{aligned}

Δττ=ΔMM+2ΔLL+2ΔTT\Rightarrow {{\Delta \tau } \over \tau } = {{\Delta M} \over M} + 2{{\Delta L} \over L} + 2{{\Delta T} \over T}

=5×5%=25%= 5 \times 5\% = 25\%
