The volume of a cylinder is V space equals space pi space rsquared space h, where r is the radius of the circular faces and his the height of the cylinder. Your measurements show that the meanvalue of r is 21 cm and its statistical and instrumentaluncertainties turned out to be 0.10 cm and 0.20 cm, respectively.Likewise, that of h are 13 cm for the mean, 0.2 cm (statistical)and 0.3 cm (instrumental) for its uncertainties. What can you sayabout which source of uncertainty has the largest contribution tothe overall uncertainty of V ? What would you need to do to improve(reduce) the uncertainty on your calculation of V?
