Question

Transcribed Image Text:2.) The measure of the electrical
resistance of a wire is proportional to
the measure of its length and inversely
proportional to the square of the
measure of its diameter. Suppose that
the resistance of a wire of given length
is computed from a measurement of
the diameter with a possible 2 percent
error. Find the possible percent error in
the computed value of the resistance.
