Answer: to minimize the effects of variables other than the independent variable (i.e. confounding variables)

A cylindrical hole is bored through a steel block, and a cylindrical piston is machined to fit into the hole. The diameter of th

prisoha [69]

Answer:

The diameter of the hole is 20.04 ± 0.01 cm

The diameter of the piston is 19.92 ± 0.04 cm.

We are given that The clearance is one-half the difference between the diameters.

So, Clearance = $\frac{1}{2}(20.04-19.92)$

= $0.06$

Uncertainty in the estimate = $\frac{1}{2}(0.01+0.04)$

= $0.025$

So, Clearance with uncertainty is $0.06\pm 0.025$

Hence the clearance is 0.06 and the uncertainty in the estimate. is 0.025
