Question 1 Report

The external and internal diameter of a tube are measured as (32 ± 2)mm and (21 ± 1)mm respectively. Determine the percentage error in the thickness of the tube.
Answer Details
Actual thickness = 34 - 22 = 12

error thickness = 30 - 20 = 10

error = 12 - 10 = 2mm that is, (11 ± 1)mm

%error =  1 11  x  100 1

= 9%
