The propagation errors we can find the uncertainty of a given magnitude is the sum of the uncertainties of each magnitude.
Δm = ∑
Physical quantities are precise values of a variable, but all measurements have an uncertainty, in the case of direct measurements the uncertainty is equal to the precision of the given instrument.
When you have derived variables, that is, when measurements are made with different instruments, each with a different uncertainty, the way to find the uncertainty or error is used the propagation errors to use the variation of each parameter, keeping the others constant and taking the worst of the cases, all the errors add up.
If m is the calculated quantity, x_i the measured values and Δx_i the uncertainty of each value, the total uncertainty is
Δm = ∑ | dm / dx_i | Dx_i
for instance:
If the magnitude is a average of two magnitudes measured each with a different error
m =
Δm = | | Δx₁ + |
| Δx₂
= ½
= ½
Δm = Δx₁ + ½ Δx₂
Δm = Δx₁ + Δx₂
In conclusion, using the propagation errors we can find the uncertainty of a given quantity is the sum of the uncertainties of each measured quantity.

Explanation:
Mass of the cable car, m = 5800 kg
It goes 260 m up a hill, along a slope of
Therefore vertical elevation of the car =
Now, when you get into the cable car, it's velocity is zero, that is, initial kinetic energy is zero (since K.E. = ). Similarly as the car reaches the top, it halts and hence final kinetic energy is zero.
Therefore the only possible change in the cable car system is the change in it's gravitational potential energy.
Hence, total change in energy = mgh =
where, g = acceleration due to gravity
h = height/vertical elevation
