Calculate the upper bound of the following measurement:

6.3 N

So far you have been able to calculate the maximum and minimum values of single measurements (upper and lower bounds).

This has allowed us to calculate the error interval of a measurement e.g

However, you need to be able to calculate the maximum and minimum values of compound measurement (combining bounds together)

• The image on the right shows the rules on how to calculate maximum and minimum values of a compound measurement

• You first have to calculate the upper and lower bounds of each measurement in the calculation
