Question 1. The height of a mercury column for atmospheric pressure at sea level is h = 0.760 + or - 0.003m of mercury (m-Hg).If the density of mercury is p = 13600 + or - 1000kg/m3 and the acceleration due to gravity, g = 9.8 + or - 0.1ms-2 , determine the value of atmospheric pressure Po = pgh and its uncertainty in SI units.

Question 2. A particle is moving in a straight line so that its velocity is given by the relation: v = (4.10 m/s2) t + 2.80 m/s. Calculate its average acceleration during the time interval from t1 = 1.00s to t2 = 5.00s.
