So for part (i)I found the volume is equal to v= 6283.19 cm^3 , now for part (ii) does anyone know how to do it? Or any hints? Thanks

You could calculate the volume of a cylinder of radius 10+0.03 cm and height 20+0.05 cm, then determine the difference of the result from your previously calculated volume.

 

You should also do the same for radius 10-0.03 and height 20-0.05 cm.

 

Take the larger of the two differences.

thanks for your answer, this is how I have done it now can you please correct me if I'm wrong? thanks

first I calculated the new volume of the cylinder with radius 10.03 and height 20.05;

v= pi * (10.03)2 * ( 20.05) = 1263.56

The initial volume of the cylinder - the new volume =

6283.19 - 1263.56 = 5019.63

 

then I calculated the volume of the cylinder with radius 9.97 and height 19.95,

V= pi * (9.97)2 * (19.95) = 6229.93

The initial volume of the cylinder - the new volume =

6283.19 - 6229.93 = 53.26 

 

so the approximate maximum error is 5019.63

 

Is that right? Please let me know.

You need to check your calculation of pi*10.032*20.05.  !!!

Solution:

 

V=πr2h±(error)For this equation, the easiest method is to calculate each error as a decimal and then use the sum of the decimals to calculate the error range. Gauss Error Function  (uncertainties in decimal).r=10cm±0.03rerror=(2)0.0310=0.006h=20cm±0.05herror=0.0520=0.003sum of errors =0.006+0.003=0.009Verror=0.009(6283.18)=±56.54cm3 V=π10220=6283cm3±56.54cm3|68% confidence interval6226.6cm3V6339.7cm3|68% confidence interval
