I wanted to know how it is determined uncertainty
Sorry in my physics exercises i never heard about gaussian propagation, (talking about mechanics or electrical physics exercises) only about sig.figures...
Anyway on the web can'0t find anything. |

That should give a good idea, with the assumption that the uncertainties are not correlated. Usually that is a good approximation - there is no reason that the length measurement and the time measurement influence each other in the pendulum, for example.

is uncertainty applicable with the speed of light? like 3x10^8m/s≥c

The speed of light in vacuum is exact (by definition) in SI units (and most other scientific systems I think), it does not have any uncertainty.
