1. You measure the length of the same side of a block five times and each measurement has an uncertainty of Δ
b = 0.1 mm. What is the uncertainty in the best estimate for b?
2. You measure the lengths of three sides of a block and find a=12.23 mm, b=14.51 mm and c = 7.45 mm with an error of +/-0.03 mm in each measurement. What is the uncertainty Δ
V in the volume of the block?
