The volume of a cone is given by , where r is the radius of the base and h is the height. Assume the height is measured to be h = 6.00 ± 0.01 cm and the radius is r = 5.00 ± 0.02 cm.

a. Estimate the volume of the cone, and find the uncertainty in the estimate.

b. Which would provide a greater reduction in the uncertainty in V: reducing the uncertainty in h to 0.005 cm or reducing the uncertainty in r to 0.01 cm?

Answer the following statement(s) true (T) or false (F)

1. Copper, aluminum, and copper-clad aluminum grounding electrode conductors are permitted to be connected to an 8 ft ground rod. 2. Metal raceways, cable trays, cable armor, cable sheath, enclosures, frames, fittings, and other metal non-current-carrying parts that are to serve as grounding conductors are not required to be bonded if a supplemental equipment grounding conductor is installed inside for grounding equipment. 3. Structural metal in the area served by a separately derived system, but is not used as a grounding electrode for the separately derived system, is required to be bonded with a conductor sized in accordance with Table 250.102(C)(1). 4. The grounding electrode (earth terminal) for a lightning protection system is required to be completely separate from the grounding electrode system for the electrical service and the electrodes are not permitted to be bonded together.
