Explanation:
w = (4.52 ± 0.02) cm, x = ( 2.0 ± 0.2) cm, y = (3.0 ± 0.6) cm. Find z = x + y - w and its uncertainty.
z = x + y - w = 2.0 + 3.0 - 4.5 = 0.5 cm
Dz = Dx + Dy + Dw = 0.2 + 0.6 + 0.02 = 0.82 rounding to 0.8 cm
So z = (0.5 ± 0.8) cm
Solution with standard deviations, Eq. 1b, Dz = 0.633 cm
z = (0.5 ± 0.6) cm
Notice that we round the uncertainty to one significant figure and round the answer to match.
Surface waves from an earthquake shake the ground back and forth and up and down. So basically in a circular motion. This wave is the most dangerous wave released during and earthquake and it comes after the p and s waves. The Surface wave is the last wave that comes after the other 2. So yea' these surface waves move in a circular motion.
