Ive to work out the uncertainties for youngs modulus.would i take

AI Thread Summary
To calculate the uncertainties for Young's modulus, all measurements should be averaged, and their uncertainties combined appropriately. The length measurement of 1.788 m has an uncertainty of ±0.01 m. For the value of 5.73 x 10^-3, the uncertainty can be derived based on the precision of the measurement. The discussion highlights confusion regarding how to determine the percentage uncertainty in the Young's modulus value of 6.02 x 10^10 Pa. Understanding the propagation of uncertainties in calculations is crucial for accurate results.

Ive to work out the uncertainties for youngs modulus.

would i take all 4 measurements and mutliply then divide by 4 ?

would 1.788m have an uncertain if +/- 0.01 ?

how would i get the uncertainties from 5.73x10-3

im very confused and my tutor isn't helpful at all.

Basicly my stress and strain are

A = 5.73 x 10-3
L = 1.788m
F = 8.829 kg m s-1
e = 6.36cm or 6.36x10-1m

youngs modulus is 6.02x10(10) Pa
ive to find the % uncertainty in the Young Modulus value
 
Kindly see the attached pdf. My attempt to solve it, is in it. I'm wondering if my solution is right. My idea is this: At any point of time, the ball may be assumed to be at an incline which is at an angle of θ(kindly see both the pics in the pdf file). The value of θ will continuously change and so will the value of friction. I'm not able to figure out, why my solution is wrong, if it is wrong .
TL;DR Summary: I came across this question from a Sri Lankan A-level textbook. Question - An ice cube with a length of 10 cm is immersed in water at 0 °C. An observer observes the ice cube from the water, and it seems to be 7.75 cm long. If the refractive index of water is 4/3, find the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. I could not understand how the apparent height of the ice cube in the water depends on the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. Does anyone have an...
