Homework Statement
this is regarding propagation of error for a lab i did:
we measured the amplitude of a damped harmonic oscillation over a time period, taking amplitude measurements every 1 second for 14 seconds. when graphed (by excel), the plot has the form of y = Ae^(-gt), where A is the amplitude, t is time and 1/g = the damping time.
how would the uncertainty of g be calculated, if the uncertainties of A and t are known for each measurement?
