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

Answer:

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  )

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

     $48.4 - 0.6 < F_c < 48.4 + 0.6$

=>  $47.8 < F_M$

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  )
