Binomial Theorem

[Andre.1]

Hello,

Currently in the process of struggling to get started with the following question.

The viscosity (n) of a liquid is given by;

n = (k)(r)^4/(v)(l)

Where (k) is a constant.

If there is an error in (r) of +2%, in (v) of +4% and (l) of -3%, what is the resultant error in ?

Any help would be largely appreciated!! Thanks

Please read READ BEFORE POSTING before you post again.

At present it is almost impossible to know how to help you. What are you currently studying? Why do you think the binomial theorem is involved? To what degree of precision is your answer supposed to be calculated?

Most importantly, could you evaluate the error in f, given f = m * a, m has an error 2%, and a has an error of 3%, and, if so, how would you do it?
