QUESTION:

The vertical displacement \(v\) of a cracked slurry infiltrated fiber concrete member at maximum shear stress is given by v = a + bw, where \(w\) is the crack width, and \(a\) and \(b\) are estimated from data to be \(a=2.5\pm0.1\mathrm{\ mm}\) and \(b=0.05 \pm 0.01\). Assume that \(w=1.2\pm0.1\mathrm{\ mm}\).

a. Estimate \(v\), and find the uncertainty in the estimate.

b. Of the uncertainties in \(w\), \(a\), and \(b\), only one has a non-negligible effect on the uncertainty in \(v\). Which one is it?
