Homework Statement
Hey I'm building a graph of period squared vs. mass for simple harmonic motion
finding the slope and getting K for a spring.
since T^2 = ((4*pi^2)/k)m
the slope is (4*pi^2)/k
so I get my slope from my graph and it has an uncertainty of +- 0.2
to get K we divide (4*pi^2) by the M +-0.2
just wondering what the rule is when your dividing a contstant by a number with uncertainty what the uncertainty is in the answer.?
