Uncertainty of temperatur and pressure

AI Thread Summary
To determine the maximum allowable error in temperature for a pressure measurement error of no more than 5%, the ideal gas equation can be utilized. The relationship between temperature and pressure suggests that changes in temperature directly affect pressure readings. Calculating the sensitivity of pressure to temperature changes is essential for establishing the error margin. A systematic approach using relevant formulas will yield the necessary results. Understanding these relationships is crucial for accurate measurements in scientific and engineering applications.

Somebody who can explain the question
How big a error must there be at the temperature for the error on the pressure measurement is not more than 5 % ?

thanks in advance

Hello
What do you think would be an appropriate answer? How could you go about finding the result of changing pressure by 5%? (Use one of the formulae that you would have in your toolbox.)
 
I think that one could use the ideal gas equation, but are not quite sure
 

Thread 'Is calling fictitious forces "not real" just about terminology?'

Hi there, im studying nanoscience at the university in Basel. Today I looked at the topic of intertial and non-inertial reference frames and the existence of fictitious forces. I understand that you call forces real in physics if they appear in interplay. Meaning that a force is real when there is the "actio" partner to the "reactio" partner. If this condition is not satisfied the force is not real. I also understand that if you specifically look at non-inertial reference frames you can...

Thread 'Derivation of Hamilton's Principle: Questions'

I have recently been really interested in the derivation of Hamiltons Principle. On my research I found that with the term ##m \cdot \frac{d}{dt} (\frac{dr}{dt} \cdot \delta r) = 0## (1) one may derivate ##\delta \int (T - V) dt = 0## (2). The derivation itself I understood quiet good, but what I don't understand is where the equation (1) came from, because in my research it was just given and not derived from anywhere. Does anybody know where (1) comes from or why from it the...
