A position sensor is used to measure the distance of an object from a wall. A set of 41 measurements is taken for a single position of the object. The results of the measurements show a mean distance of 43.46179 cm with a sample standard deviation of 0.37147 cm. The measurement device has a resolution of 0.37905 cm. Determine the total uncertainty of the measurement at a 95% confidence level. Use the correct rules for significant figures to express your uncertainty value (answers with the wrong number of significant figures will be marked incorrect).

If two wires carry current next to each other, they will exert a force on each other. The force is caused by magnetic fields. One current creates a magnetic field, and this field exerts a force on the other current. The magnitude of the field created by a long, straight current-carrying wire is given by Equation 1 below; B= (μ0i)/(2πr) where i is the current and r is the distance from the wire. The magnitude of the force exerted on...
