Assuming we have error E in measurement of the diameter; i.e. the diameter is d+E, determine the percentage in error in calculation of a cylindrical volume? If we have this error in measurement o length determine th error. Which error has a higher effect on cylindrical volume calculation?

Question

y2o2 · Answer

the Error in the diameter will have a higher effect as it will be squared in the area 
A = pi(0.5d + E)² L
