1. What is the expression for the uncertainty in finding the fractional value

mgL3
Y = (1)
4wh3 d
assuming an uncertainty δm in m, uncertainty δL in L, uncertainty δw in w, uncertainty
δh in h, and uncertainty δd in d . Refer to the section on uncertainty calculations for
more details.

2. Using equation
mgL3
Y = (2)
4wh3 d
show that the SI units for Y is Pa.
