Answer the following question.

The masses of two bodies are measured to be 15.7 ± 0.2 kg and 27.3 ± 0.3 kg. What is the total mass of the two and the error in it?
In a workshop, a worker measures the length of a steel plate with Vernier calipers having a least count 0.01 cm. Four such measurements of the length yielded the following values: 3.11 cm, 3.13 cm, 3.14 cm, 3.14 cm. Find the mean length, the mean absolute error, and the percentage error in the measured value of the length.
Find the percentage error in kinetic energy of a body having mass 60.0 ± 0.3 g moving with a velocity of 25.0 ± 0.1 cm/s.
Solve the numerical example.
If the length of a cylinder is l = (4.00 ± 0.001) cm, radius r = (0.0250 ± 0.001) cm and mass m = (6.25 ± 0.01) g. Calculate the percentage error in the determination of density.
Solve the numerical example.
If the formula for a physical quantity is X = `("a"^4"b"^3)/("c"^(1//3)"d"^(1//2))` and if the percentage error in the measurements of a, b, c and d are 2%, 3%, 3% and 4% respectively. Calculate percentage error in X.
In an experiment, the percentage of error occurred in the measurement of physical quantities A, B, C and D are 1%, 2%, 3% and 4% respectively. Then the maximum percentage of error in the measurement X, where X = `(A^2B^(1/2))/(C^(1/3)D^3)`, will be:
The relative density of a metal may be found by hanging a block of the metal from a spring balance and nothing that in air, the balance reads (5 .00 ± 0.05)N while in water, it reads (4.00 ± 0.05)N. The relative density would be quoted as ______.
