The temperature of two bodies measured by a thermometer are `t_(1) = 20^(@)C pm 0.5^(@)C` and `t_(2)=50^(@)C pm 0.5^(@)C`. Calculate the temperature difference and the error theirin.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

`t.=t_(2)-t_(1)`
`" "=(50^(@)C pm0.5^(@)C)-(20^(@)C pm0.5^(@)C)`
`t.=30^(@)C pm1^(@)C`.
