[Difficulty: 3]

Given: Find: Solution:

The data is:

Data on water Viscosity; Uncertainty in viscosity

A = 2.414 10

5 Ns

m The uncertainty in temperature is

B = 247.8 K 0.5 K 293 K

C = 140 K

T = 303 K

uT =
B

u T = 0.171 %

Also

( T) = A 10

( T C)

Evaluating

( 293 K ) = 1.005 10

3 Ns

m For the uncertainty d ( T) = dT 10 A B ln( 10)

B C T

( C T)

Hence

u ( T) =

d ( T) u T ( T) dT

ln( 10) B T u T

CT

Evaluating

u ( T) = 1.11 %
