You measure two quantities as `A=1.0m+-0.2m`,`B=2.0m+-0.2m`. We should report correct value for `sqrt(AB)` asA. `1.4m+-0.4m`B. `1.41m+-0.15m`C. `1.4m+-0.3m`D. `1.4m+-0.2m` |

Answer» Correct Answer - D Here, `A=1.0+-0.2m,B=2.0m+-0.2m` `AB=(1.0m)(2.0m)=2.0m^(2)` `sqrt(AB)=sqrt(2.0)m=1.414m` Rounding off to two significant figures, we get `sqrt(AB)=1.4m` `(Deltasqrt(AB))/(sqrt(AB))=(1)/(2)((DeltaA)/(A)+(DeltaB)/(B))=(1)/(2)((0.2)/(1.0)+(0.2)/(2.0))=(0.3)/(2)` `Deltasqrt(AB)=(0.3)/(2)xxsqrt(AB)=(0.3)/(2)xx1.414=0.212m` Rounding off to one significant figures, we get `Deltasqrt(AB)=0.2m` The correct value for `sqrt(AB)` is `1.4m+-0.2m` |
