QuestionCalculate the mass of water added to a beaker that weighed and now weighs .
Studdy Solution
STEP 1
Assumptions1. The initial weight of the beaker with water is
. The final weight of the beaker with added water is
3. The weight of the beaker itself remains constant and is included in both measurements4. The error associated with each measurement is the given value
STEP 2
First, we need to calculate the weight of the water added. This can be done by subtracting the initial weight of the beaker with water from the final weight of the beaker with added water.
STEP 3
Now, plug in the given values for the initial and final weights to calculate the weight of the added water.
STEP 4
Calculate the weight of the added water.
STEP 5
Next, we need to calculate the associated error. When subtracting quantities with uncertainties, we add the absolute uncertainties.
STEP 6
Now, plug in the given values for the initial and final errors to calculate the associated error.
STEP 7
Calculate the associated error.
So, the weight of the water added to the beaker is .
