A student has measured a solution using a graduated cylinder of 2.0 Litres. The uncertainty of the graduated cylinder is +/- 0.1 The % error was found to be 5% The student then decides to convert 2.0 Litres into mL which in doing so grants 2000 mL. By doing this, the uncertainty of the cylinder would be then +/- 100. The % error will also be 5% Is this correct, if so explain your reasoning.

Cylinders
A cylinder is a three-dimensional solid shape with two parallel and congruent circular bases, joined by a curved surface at a fixed distance. A cylinder has an infinite curvilinear surface.
Cones
A cone is a three-dimensional solid shape having a flat base and a pointed edge at the top. The flat base of the cone tapers smoothly to form the pointed edge known as the apex. The flat base of the cone can either be circular or elliptical. A cone is drawn by joining the apex to all points on the base, using segments, lines, or half-lines, provided that the apex and the base both are in different planes.
