Simple trigonometry tells you that tells you that the height h is given by h = d tan 0 The biologist measures d=50.0 \pm 0.2m and 0 = 35 \pm 5\deg The height is obviously h = 35 m. Find the uncertainty in h (in meters).
Added by Chelsea S.
Step 1
0 \) m - \( \theta = 35^\circ \) Calculate \( h \): \[ h = 50.0 \times \tan(35^\circ) \approx 35.0 \text{ m} \] Show more…

Use the H and b values with uncertainty to calculate the predicted range and its uncertainty in meters. How I can find the predicted range here? H = 62.9 plus/minus 5 (mm) b= 96.9 plus/minus 5 (mm)

If H3 = a ÷ b and the uncertainty in a is 15% and b is 6% when H = 1.25, find the uncertainty in H.

The only significant uncertainty is in the temperature measurement. Determine the absolute uncertainty in the calculated value of ΔH if the uncertainty in the temperature rise was ± 0.2°C (m = 80g, c = 4.18, Temperature rise of the solution = 7.5°C, n = 0.016mol)
