How does uncertainty relate to measurements and calculations made during an investigation?

Consider the following problem: a box with an open top is to be constructed from a square piece of cardboard, 3 ft wide, by cutting out a square from each of the four corners and bending up the sides. find the largest volume that such a box can have.

At 20∘c, the hole in an aluminum ring is 2.800 cm in diameter. you need to slip this ring over a steel shaft that has a room-temperature diameter of 2.804 cm . 1. to what common temperature should the ring and the shaft be heated so that the ring will just fit onto the shaft? coefficients of linear thermal expansion of steel and aluminum are 12×10−6 k−1 and23×10−6 k−1 respectively.

A6.0-μf air-filled capacitor is connected across a 100-v voltage source. after the source fully charges the capacitor, the capacitor is immersed in transformer oil (of dielectric constant 4.5). how much additional charge flows from the voltage source, which remained connected during the process?
