Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

A force is measured as 100 N with an uncertainty of ±2 N. What is the maximum possible value of the force?
  • Step 1: Identify the measured value of the force, which is 100 N.
  • Step 2: Identify the uncertainty in the measurement, which is ±2 N.
  • Step 3: To find the maximum possible value of the force, add the uncertainty to the measured value.
  • Step 4: Perform the calculation: 100 N (measured value) + 2 N (uncertainty) = 102 N.
  • Step 5: The maximum possible value of the force is 102 N.
  • Measurement and Uncertainty – Understanding how to calculate maximum and minimum values based on a measured value and its associated uncertainty.
