Find the partial diameter error of the surface area of cylinder

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on calculating the partial diameter error of a cylinder's surface area, with the formula (ΔSA/ΔD) = 2πHΔD being questioned for accuracy. Participants emphasize the need for careful differentiation and proper notation, particularly regarding the distinction between D and ΔD. One user suggests revising the formula to Partial Diameter Error = (2πH + πD) * ΔD, seeking clarification on its correctness. The conversation highlights the importance of precise mathematical derivation in achieving accurate results. Overall, the thread underscores the necessity of careful formula application and differentiation in mathematical calculations related to geometry.

Homework Statement
Hello everyone. I need help.
How Can I find partial diameter error of surface area of cylinder if I have diameter absolute error, average diameter and average height. Just write a formula. Please!
Relevant Equations
Using derivative
(ΔSA/ΔD) = 2πHΔD
Something is wrong I guess as I get wrong value.

You didn’t do the derivative correctly. Write the formula more carefully and then take the derivative more carefully. Hint: D is not ##\Delta D## (but also careful with the constants)

Thanks! But, actually, I don't really get it.. Now, the formula is Partial Diameter Error = (2πH + πD) * ΔD?

TL;DR Summary: I would like to know the voltmeter readings on the two resistors separately in the picture in the following cases , When one of the keys is closed When both of them are opened (Knowing that the battery has negligible internal resistance) My thoughts for the first case , one of them must be 12 volt while the other is 0 The second case we'll I think both voltmeter readings should be 12 volt since they are both parallel to the battery and they involve the key within what the...

Thread 'Correct statement about a reservoir with an outlet pipe'

The answer to this question is statements (ii) and (iv) are correct. (i) This is FALSE because the speed of water in the tap is greater than speed at the water surface (ii) I don't even understand this statement. What does the "seal" part have to do with water flowing out? Won't the water still flow out through the tap until the tank is empty whether the reservoir is sealed or not? (iii) In my opinion, this statement would be correct. Increasing the gravitational potential energy of the...
