Homework Statement
Let t = f(g, h, A, Δm, Γ, r). For t = 2 s, the propagated error is σ = 0.02 s.
Can the error of 1/t2 be simply determined using the known error in t = (2 ± 0.02) s, or must the variance formula (with all the partial derivatives and errors of each dependent variable) be re-derived?
Homework Equations
When squaring a quantity with an error, the new %error of the square is half the old %error.
I don't know how to find the inverse of an error (tried looking it up online but can't seem to find it).
The Attempt at a Solution
[/B]
t2 = (22 ± 1% / 2) s = (4 ± 0.5%) s
1/t2 = ?
