As we learned in concept

Percentage error in the value of x -

dpi{100} x= frac{left ( Delta a+Delta b 
ight )}{a-b}	imes 100%

- wherein

Delta a= absolute error in measurement of a

Delta b= absolute error in measurement of b

Delta x= absolute error in measurement of x

 

Let [Vc\propto [\eta]x [\delta]y[r]z 

Vc = critical velocity

[Vc] = [L1T-1]

[\eta] = [M1L-1T-1]

[\delta] =  [M1L-3]

[r] = [L]

equating dimensions of both sides.

1,-1, -1
