    What's wrong with my calculation here? (propagation of uncertainty)

    The time measurements were 11.5, 11.7 and 11.9 respectively with 11.7 as the average. The standard deviation was 0.2. I used this formula standard deviation of T, T= sqrt((11.9-11.7)^2+(11.5-11.7)^2+(11.7-11.7)^2)/sqrt(3-1)= 0.2 Sorry for not using LaTeX.

    What's wrong with my calculation here? (propagation of uncertainty)

    I am really sorry about that. The experiment is actually "measuring g with the help of a simple pendulum". The table contains different measurements of length the pendulum and the time it took for ten vibrations, it's time period and the value of g which has been calculated using these...

    What's wrong with my calculation here? (propagation of uncertainty)

    Basically I am trying to calculate the uncertainty in g with the help of the standard deviations of "l" and "T", the experiment is about calculating the value of g with the help of a simple pendulum. These are the standard deviations Standard deviation in l = 0.1 Standard deviation in 'T' = 0.2...

    What's wrong with my calculation here? (propagation of uncertainty)

    Homework Statement I have to calculate the propagation of uncertainty for my error analysis lab but I am getting a percentage error of about 22-34 percent, just because the partial derivative of gravitational acceleration with respect to time has a large value. Could somebody please help? I...

    Admissions Solving Quadratic Equations with a Linear Polynomial Relation

    So I shouldn't include this in an essay if I am going to apply for a top university??

    Admissions Solving Quadratic Equations with a Linear Polynomial Relation

    I derived a relation between the product of two linear polynomials and the square of their average. It can be used to solve any quadratic equation. Will this help me getting into a top university?
