Relative Limiting Error Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Relative Limiting Error = (Actual Value-Nominal Value)/Nominal Value
ε_rl = (A_o-A_s)/A_s
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Relative Limiting Error - Relative Limiting Error is denoted by εr symbol.
Actual Value - Actual Value is the true value of the system.
Nominal Value - Nominal Value is the nominal reading of instrument.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Actual Value: 2.5 --> No Conversion Required
Nominal Value: 0.33 --> No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

ε_rl = (A_o-A_s)/A_s --> (2.5-0.33)/0.33

Evaluating ... ...

ε_rl = 6.57575757575758

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

6.57575757575758 --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

6.57575757575758 ≈ 6.575758 <-- Relative Limiting Error
