Grade upto college level General Physics
The physical quantity P is related to 4 observables a,b,c,d as follows. P=a^3b^2/(cd)^1/2. The percentage errors of measurement in a,b,c,d are 1%,3%,4% and 2% respectively. What is the percentage error in the quantity P? If the value of P calculated using the above relation turns out to be 3.763, to what value should you round off the result?
