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?

Thread 'Errors and significant figures'

I multiplied the values first without the error limit. Got 19.38. rounded it off to 2 significant figures since the given data has 2 significant figures. So = 19. For error I used the above formula. It comes out about 1.48. Now my question is. Should I write the answer as 19±1.5 (rounding 1.48 to 2 significant figures) OR should I write it as 19±1. So in short, should the error have same number of significant figures as the mean value or should it have the same number of decimal places as...

Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanging mass'

Let's declare that for the cylinder, mass = M = 10 kg Radius = R = 4 m For the wall and the floor, Friction coeff = ##\mu## = 0.5 For the hanging mass, mass = m = 11 kg First, we divide the force according to their respective plane (x and y thing, correct me if I'm wrong) and according to which, cylinder or the hanging mass, they're working on. Force on the hanging mass $$mg - T = ma$$ Force(Cylinder) on y $$N_f + f_w - Mg = 0$$ Force(Cylinder) on x $$T + f_f - N_w = Ma$$ There's also...
