What is the volume of the pool?
165 m^3
What is the uncertainty in the volume of the pool? Express it in terms of cubic meters.
20.6 m^3
Joe's supervisor says, "Okay, Joe, your first job is the fill the pool. We used to use a hose, but it sprang a leak. Instead, you'll have to fill this soda can at the faucet over there, then dump it into the pool." The soda can is a cylinder 18 cm long and 4 cm in radius, with an uncertainty of 0.5 cm in each dimension.
What is the volume of the soda can?
905 cm^3
What is the uncertainty in the volume of the soda can?
251 cm^3
It takes Joe 2 seconds to transfer one can of water into the pool. How long will it take Joe to fill the entire pool?
3.6*10^5 s
What is the uncertainty in this time?
?
I am struggling to come up with a reasonable equation to solve for uncertainty in this time (with the ? above)
I tried 1.4*10^5 and 1.6*10^5...I figured it seemed off that uncertainty is 50% 3.6*10^5 seconds from above (the time it takes Joe to fill the entire pool).
