Experimental Errors and Uncertainties
Propagation of Uncertainties
Often, the quantity of interest cannot be determined in a one-step measurement (for example, area of a rectangle using a
ruler). We combine several measurements, each with their associated uncertainties, into an equation. These uncertainties
propagate (are carried) into the uncertainty of the final answer.
Rules for propagation of uncertainties
Let z be a quantity determined from combination of two direct measurements, x ± Ax and y+Ay. The uncertainty of z,
Az, depends on how the three quantities mathematically relate to each other.
of
In general, for any function of two variables, z = f(x, y), the uncertainly is Az = (24) ² (Ax)² + (Ay)².

You need to measure the length of a table of roughly 30 cm and you have a 20 cm ruler available. Naturally, you need to
take two measurements. Your measurements are 20.00 cm and 8.50 cm, each of them having an uncertainly of ±0.05cm
(only considering the instrumental uncertainty of the ruler). Determine the length of the table, L and its uncertainty, AL.
L = 20.00cm + 8.50cm = 28.50cm

2. Division
An object travels a certain distance, d, with constant speed and you want to determine this speed, and its associated
uncertainty, from time and distance measurements.
You measure the time to be t = 5.3 ± 0.2s and the distance d = 2.355 ± 0.001m.
