Question

Would a measured force of (46.5 0.8 N  ) be in agreement with a theoretically calculated force of (48.4 0.6 N  ) ? Show your work.

Answer 1

A measured force of (46.5 0.8 N  ) would not be in agreement with a theoretically calculated force of (48.4 0.6 N  )

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

Measured force is
`F_M = [46.5 \pm 0.8 \ N ]`

Calculated force is
`F_c = [48.4 \pm 0.6 \ N ]`

Generally the measured force in interval form is

`46.5 - 0.8 < F_M < 46.5 + 0.8`

=>
`45.7 < F_M < 47.3`

Generally the calculated force in interval form is

`48.4 - 0.6 < F_c < 48.4 + 0.6`

=>
`47.8 < F_M <49`

Generally looking both interval we see that they do not intersect at any point Hence

A measured force of (46.5 0.8 N  ) would not be in agreement with a theoretically calculated force of (48.4 0.6 N  )
