the volume of the rectangular block in the figure is calculated from the following measurements of its dimensions: a = 10.00 ± 0.10 cm, b = 5.00 ± 0.06 cm and c = 4.00 ± 0.04 cm. calculate the error in the value of the volume of the block assuming: a) the errors are independent b) the errors are correlated such that they all push the estimate in the same direction.
Identify any errors in the solution to the following problem and provide a corrected solution.
Calculate the approximate number of board feet (one
board foot is defined as a volume of 1 in x 1 ft x 1 ft) of
lumber that would be available in a log that has a
diameter of 26 cm and a length of 2.4 m. Assume the log
is a right cylinder and that the saw mill must make the
log into a rectangular prism before cutting it into boards.
