Perform the calculations and determine the absolute and percent relative uncertainty. Express each answer with the correct number of significant figures. To avoid rounding errors, do not round your answers until the very end of your calculations.

Perform the calculations and determine the absolute and percent relative uncertainty. Express each answer with the
correct number of significant figures. To avoid rounding errors, do not round your answers until the very end of
your calculations.
