Question:
2. Determine the density, and the uncertainty in the density, of a rectangular prism made of wood. The dimensions of the prism (length L, width W, height H) and mass M were measured to be:
L = (178 +/- 2) mm
W = (112 +/- 2) mm
H = (300 +/- 2) mm
M = (2223 +/- 5) g
Question 1: Which term makes the largest contribution to the total uncertainty?
Question 2:Hence, if one wants to improve the overall precision of the measurement of the density, for which measurement would it be best to try to reduce the uncertainty?
