Help calculating the uncertainty in the Sun's rotational speed
Thanks haruspex. The equation is for calculating the rotational speed of the sun. We are not given a method of calculating the error in the result. I did write up an example on my lunchbreak at work to post here when I got home after realising there were rules, but I can't for the life of me...- koots

Help calculating the uncertainty in the Sun's rotational speed
Hi everyone, The equation is one we have been given to calculate the rotational speed of the sun for different latitudes. phi = average latitude. This shouldn't be a problem for me, but for some reason I just can't trust my error calcs. We are given : A = 14.713 ± 0.0491◦/d B = −2.396 ±...- koots
