8 September 2014: Propagated Uncertainty



Purpose: Part 1: To calculate the propagated error in each of one's density measurements. Determine

     whether or not those measurements are within the experimental uncertainty of the accepted values.

     Part 2: Determination of a suspended unknown mass.


     The apparatuses below are a scale accurate to 0.1 grams and a caliper accurate to 0.01 cm.


     We used this equipment to measure the mass, the diameter, and the height of the three cylinders of 

brass, steel and copper. 


Below is partial calculations of density and its propagated error



The density of brass is 8.43g/cm^3 with p +/- dp 

Part II: Determination of an unknown suspended mass
