Find the partial diameter error of the surface area of cylinder

Click For 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?

Start by posting the formula you are using for the area.

Beams of electrons and protons move parallel to each other in the same direction. They ______. a. attract each other. b. repel each other. c. neither attract nor repel. d. the force of attraction or repulsion depends upon the speed of the beams. This is a previous-year-question of CBSE Board 2023. The answer key marks (b) as the right option. I want to know why we are ignoring Coulomb's force?
