The pressure on a square plate is measured by measuring the force on the plate and length of the sides of the plate by using the formula $P = F/\ell^{2}$. If the maximum errors in the measurement of force and length are 6% and 3% respectively, then the maximum error in the measurement of pressure is
Explanation
$\Delta P/P \times 100 = (\Delta F/F) \times 100 + 2(\Delta\ell/\ell) \times 100 = 6\% + 2 \times 3\% = 12\%$
