I have to finish this one question that I have come across and I am having a bit of trouble figuring out where to go from what I havee done.
The Q is:
A copper cylinder is 5.82 +/- 0.06 cm long and has a radius of 2.53 +/- 0.04 cm. Using the appropraite formula,
Question Details
a) Find the total surface area of the cylinder and the standard error in the area .
b) Find the volume of the cylinder and the standard error in the volume.
c) Given that the density of copper is 8.96cm^-3, find the mass of the cylinder
We are to use error propogation formulas for this.
For part a and b I calculated the normals and for b- volume and used the formulae for product rules to calculate the error in volume and found it to be 2.88.
Can someone guide me through the process because I have the formulas and I plug in the values but I am not sure If i am right or not.
Thank you.
