aite thx vserian
so Q3 still unanswered =\
in same paper M/J07 Q4d(i) and (ii)
O/N07 Q1 b , how to calculate the uncertainty, im gettin 6.9*10^-3 whereas in ms it says 0.009 ..??
this paper is attached to the post..
i think this is how its done:
make R the subject of the formula, you get R=(V/pi X L)^1/2
to calculate the uncertainty here, you need to find the percentage uncertainty first then multiply by the value you get for R
in this case, % uncertainty in R = 1/2(% uncertainty in V + % uncertainty in L)
which is 0.019
the value you get for R is approximately 0.4886
so uncertainty = 0.4886 X 0.019 = 0.009
