The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the difference in lengths between rod B and rod A, taking into account the uncertainties in their measurements. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the lengths and uncertainties of the rods:** - Length of rod A (L_A) = 3.25 cm with an uncertainty of ±0.01 cm. - Length of rod B (L_B) = 4.19 cm with an uncertainty of ±0.01 cm. 2. **Calculate the difference in lengths:** - The difference in lengths (X) can be calculated as: \[ X = L_B - L_A = (4.19 \, \text{cm}) - (3.25 \, \text{cm}) \] 3. **Perform the subtraction:** - Calculate: \[ X = 4.19 - 3.25 = 0.94 \, \text{cm} \] 4. **Calculate the total uncertainty:** - The uncertainty in the difference is the sum of the uncertainties of both measurements: \[ \text{Total uncertainty} = \text{Uncertainty of } L_B + \text{Uncertainty of } L_A = 0.01 \, \text{cm} + 0.01 \, \text{cm} = 0.02 \, \text{cm} \] 5. **Combine the results:** - Therefore, the final result for the difference in lengths, including the uncertainty, is: \[ X = 0.94 \pm 0.02 \, \text{cm} \] ### Final Answer: Rod B is longer than rod A by \(0.94 \pm 0.02 \, \text{cm}\). ---
