A person's blood pressure is measured to be: 115 ± 7 mm Hg. What is its percent uncertainty? (Express your answer to the correct number of significant figures and proper units. Use unrounded values in your calculations.)
In each of the three cases, which measured value (mass or volume) limits the precision of the calculated density? Note that the absolute uncertainty in volume cannot be compared directly to that in the mass because the units differ (mL and g), so relative uncertainties must be considered. For volume, relative uncertainty by the rules of significant figures is ±0.01 mL / 20.10 mL = ± 0.0005, a unit-less decimal fraction. Give the relative uncertainty for each mass based on your previous answers to #s 1 & 2.
