The following data applies to ALL questions. Please read the questions and instructions carefully.
A rectangular metallic plate has been found and measured. Its dimensions (L*W*H) are found to be 16cm*12cm*4cm.
The mass of the plate was recorded to be 14,824 grams.
Assume that the measurements were taken to the most precise
marking on their respective instruments (1 cm on the meter stick and 1 gram on the scale).
1. What is the uncertainty associated with each dimensional measurement? Answer is assumed to be in meters. Answer should be exact.
2. What is the uncertainty associated with the mass measurement? Answer is assumed to be in kilograms. Answer should be
exact
3. What is the uncertainty associated with the volume of the plate? Answer is assumed to be cubic meters (m^3). Round answer to the nearest 6th decimal place (i.e. 0.123456)
4. What is the density of the plate? Answer is assumed to be in kg/m^3. Round to the nearest ones place (i.e. 1,234)
5. What is the uncertainty associated with the density? Answer is assumed to be in kg/m^3. Round to the nearest ones place (i.e. 1,234)
6. Based on the density you found, what metal do you believe this plate is made of?
Iron (7,870 kg/m3)
Silver (10,490 kg/m3)
Gold (19,302 kg/m3)
Copper (8,930 kg/m3)
