Write the density and its associated uncertainty of a cylinder
1. The problem statement, all variables and given/known data
Need to find the volume and density of a cylinder with measurements, height=0.03378m diameter=0.01876m and mass=7.99g +/- 0.01 kg And also its associated uncertainties. 2. Relevant equations V=L*Pi*R^2 =0.00000933716m^3 p=M/V =0.0000008288 3. The attempt at a solution V=L*Pi*R^2 =0.03378*Pi*0.01876^2 =0.00000933716m^3 |

This is what i have for the uncertainty so far.
ΔZ=ΔX*Y+ΔY*X Z=P X=M Y=V ΔP=0.01(9.337)+0.01(7.99) =0.17 ΔZ/Z=ΔX/X+ΔY/Y ΔZ=(0.01/7.99+0.01/9.337)*0.856 =0.002 |
