A student is studying simple harmonic motion of a spring. She conducts an experiment where she measures the amplitude and period of an undamped system to be 23 ± 2 mm and 0.40 ± 0.020 seconds, respectively. Using the equation for displacement as a function of time y(t) = Acos(ωt), what is the uncertainty of her displacement calculation in mm for t = 0.050 ± 0.0010 seconds? Round your answer to 2 decimal places for entry into eCampus. Do not enter units. Example: 1.23

Answer:

Explanation:

y(t) = Acos(ωt)

taking log on both the sides

lny = lnA + lncos(ωt)

differentiating on both sides

[tex]\frac{dy}{y} = \frac{dA}{A} +sin\omega t\frac{d\omega t}{cos\omega t}[/tex]

% change in y = % change in A + sinωt.% change in ωt

% change in A = [tex]\frac{2}{23} \times 100[/tex] = 8.7 %

% change in ωt = % change in ω + percentage change in t

= % change in ω = [tex]\frac{1}{.40}[/tex] %

= 2.5 %

percentage change in t = [tex]\frac{ .001 }{ .05 }\times 100[/tex]

= 2 %

% change in y = 8.7 % + 2.5 % + 2 %

= 13.2 %

y = Acos(ωt

= 23 cos [tex]\frac{2\pi}{.4}\times.05[/tex]

= 23 x cos 45

=16.25 mm

change in y =  13.2 % of 16.25

= 2.14 .
