Practicing Success
The internal and external diameters of a hollow cylinder are measured with the help of a Vernier Callipers. Their values are 4.23 \(\pm\) 0.01 cm and 3.87 \(\pm\) 0.01 cm, respectively. The thickness of the wall of the cylinders is : |
0.36 \(\pm\) 0.02 cm 0.18 \(\pm\) 0.02 cm 0.36 \(\pm\) 0.01 cm 0.18 \(\pm\) 0.01 cm |
0.18 \(\pm\) 0.02 cm |
Thickness : t = \(\frac{4.23-3.87}{2}\) t = 0.18 cm Error = \(\Delta r_1\) + \(\Delta r_2\) = \(\pm\) (0.01 + 0.01) cm = \(\pm\) 0.02 cm Thickness : t = (0.18 \(\pm\) 0.02) cm |
