Uncertainty propagation question #2
Hi all, I am trying to calculate the uncertainty and volume for a rectangular block with the measurements being 8.7cm, 5.2cm, 5.4cm. I am struggling with the uncertainty propagation, and I am unsure if I did this correctly. Heres what I've tried.
I found the uncertainty for each individual measurement to be .1 because they all have 1 decimal place. I Added this to the formula with the measurements, took the square root of the sum of the squares with the uncertainty for each individual measurement being in the numerator and the measurement in the denominator, as follows: √(.1/8.7)\^2 + (.1/5.2)\^2 + (.1/5.4)\^2. My final answer was volume= 244.296 +/- .029 cm\^3. I rounded the uncertainty that I got from the equation to 2 significant figures because that’s what the smallest measurement has. Did I do this correctly?

Aturntable a is built into a stage for use in a theatrical production. it is observed during a rehearsal that a trunk b starts to slide on the turntable 10 s after the turntable begins to rotate. knowing that the trunk undergoes a constant tangential acceleration of 0.31 m/s2, determine the coefficient of static friction between the trunk and the turntable.
