Answer 2

Answer: The percentage error of the student is 13.95 %.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the percentage error, we use the equation:

`\%\text{ error}=\frac{|\text{Experimental value - Accepted value}|}{\text{Accepted value}}* 100`

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:

`\%\text{ error}=(|1.85-2.15|)/(2.15)* 100\\\\\%\text{ error}=13.95\%`

Hence, the percentage error of the student is 13.95 %.
