Step by step solution

01

The value of absolute and percent relative uncertainty for part a

(a)

12.41±0.09÷4.160.01×7.×0682±0.0004=12.41±0.725%÷4.160.240%×7.×0682±0.0057%12.414.16×7.0682=21.090.7252+0.00572+0.242=0.76412.41±0.725%÷4.16±0.240%×7.0682±0.0057%=21.086±0.764%=21.086±0.16

Therefore, the absolute uncertainty is ±0.16

The relative uncertainty will be

0.1621.09×100=0.8%

So, the answer is 21.09±(0.16 or 0.8%)

02

The value of absolute and percent relative uncertainty for part b

(b)

3.26±0.1×8.47±0.05-0.18(±0.06)=3.26±3.07×8.47±0.59%-0.18(±0.06)3.26×8.47=27.61227.612±3.12%-0.18±0.06=27.612±0.863%-0.18±0.06=27.4±0.863.26±0.1×8.47±0.05-0.18±0.06=3.26±3.07%×8.47±0.59%-0.18±0.063.26×8.47=27.61227.612±3.12%-0.18(±0.06)=27.612±0.683%-0.18(±0.06)=27.4(±0.86)

Therefore, the absolute uncertainty is ±0.86

The relative uncertainty will be

0.8627.4×100=3.2%

So, the answer is 27.4±(0.86 or 3.2%)

03

The value of absolute and percent relative uncertainty for part c

(c)

6.843±0.008×104÷2.09±0.04-1.63±0.01=6.843±0.008×1040.46±0.0412=1.49±8.96%×105=1.49±0.13%×105

Therefore, the absolute uncertainty is ±0.13

The relative uncertainty will be

role="math" localid="1663312769591" 0.131.49×100=8.7%

So, the answer is 1.49×105±(0.13 or 8.7%)

04

The value of absolute and percent relative uncertainty for part d

(d)

%ey=12%ex=120.083.24×100=1.235%3.24±0.08=1.80±1.235%=1.80±0.022

Therefore, the absolute uncertainty is ±0.022

The relative uncertainty will be

0.0221.80×100=1.2%

So, the answer is 1.80± (0.022 or 1.2%)

05

The value of absolute and percent relative uncertainty for part e

(e)

%ey=4%ex=40.083.24×100=9.877%(3.24±0.008)4 =110.2±9.877%=110.2±0.11

Therefore, the absolute uncertainty is ±0.13

The relative uncertainty will be

0.11110.2×100=10%

So, the answer is 110.2±(0.11 or 10%)

06

The value of absolute and percent relative uncertainty for part f

(f)

With two digits after decimal, the number with the least precision acquires the final value after calculation and writes it with two decimal places. It may be seen from log table base e.

log(3.24)=1.175573=1.18

The absolute uncertainty is:

1log(10)×0.083.24=1×0.083.24=0.0154321=0.02

The percentage of relative uncertainty

0.0154321×1001.175573=1.543211.175573=1.31273=1.31%

So,the answer is 1.18±(0.02or 1.13%)

07

The value of absolute and percent relative uncertainty 

(g)

With two digits after decimal, the number with the least precision acquires the final value after calculation and writes it with two decimal places.

103.24=103×100.24=1000×1.737801=1737.801=1737.80

The absolute uncertainty is:

100.08=1.202264=1.20

The percentage of relative uncertainty

1.2022264×1001737.801=120.222641737.801=0.0691831=0.07%

So, the answer is 1737.80±(1.20or0.07%)
