Measured reading is 1.65 kg

actual reading was 1.72 kg

error in the reading is 1.72 - 1.65 = 0.07 kg

Now percentage error is given as

error = \frac{error}{true reading}*100

error = \frac{0.07}{1.72}*100

error = 4.1

<em>so this is -4.1% error as the measured reading is less than the actual value</em>

A vinyl record is played by rotating the record so that an approximately circular groove in the vinyl slides under a stylus. Bum
AleksandrR [38]

Answer:

Hits per second=199 hit/s

Explanation:

#Given the angular velocity, \omega=33\frac{1}{3} rev/min , radius of the record r=0.1m and the distance between any two successive bumps on the groove as d=1.75mm.

The linear speed of the record in meters per second is:

v=\omega r=33\frac{1}{3}\times\frac{2\pi}{60}\times 10\times 10^{_2}\\\\=0.3843m/s\\

#From v above, if the bumps are uniformly separated by 1m, then the rate at which they hit the stylus is:

Hits/second=v/d    \ \ \ \ d=1.75mm\\\\=0.3483/0.000175\\\\=199.0385714\approx 199

Hence the bumps hit the stylus at around 199hit/s
