Answer: The percentage error of the student is 13.95 %.
Explanation:
To calculate the percentage error, we use the equation:
[tex]\%\text{ error}=\frac{|\text{Experimental value - Accepted value}|}{\text{Accepted value}}\times 100[/tex]
We are given:
Length of rope measured by student = 1.85 m
Actual length of the rope = 2.15 m
Putting values in above equation, we get:
[tex]\%\text{ error}=\frac{|1.85-2.15|}{2.15}\times 100\\\\\%\text{ error}=13.95\%[/tex]
Hence, the percentage error of the student is 13.95 %.
