Errors and uncertainties problem 21


  • Distinguish between systematic errors and random errors.


  • A cylinder of length L has a circular cross-section of radius R, as shown in F.




    The volume V of the cylinder is given by the expression




    The volume and length of the cylinder are measured as





    Calculate the radius of the cylinder, with its uncertainty.
