Question
V = S/tS = 9.45 correct to 3 significant figurest = 3.15 correct to 2 decimal placesWhat is the upper bound of V?*Provide your answer correct to 3 significant figures
Solution
To find the upper bound of V, we need to use the lower bounds of S and t, because V = S/t.
The lower bound of S is found by subtracting half of the precision from the given value. Since S is given to 3 significant figures, the precision is 0.005 (half of 1/100). So, the lower bound of S is 9.45 - 0.005 = 9.445.
The lower bound of t is found by subtracting half of the precision from the given value. Since t is given to 2 decimal places, the precision is 0.005 (half of 1/100). So, the lower bound of t is 3.15 - 0.005 = 3.145.
Now we can find the upper bound of V by dividing the lower bound of S by the lower bound of t: V = 9.445 / 3.145 = 3.002.
So, the upper bound of V, correct to 3 significant figures, is 3.00.
