Question
1.
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 17 +/- 1 mm and 0.40 +/- 0.020
seconds, respectively. Using the equation for displacement as a function of time
y (t) = A cos(wt), what is the uncertainty of her displacement calculation in mm for t = 0.050 +/-
0.0010 seconds?
