Problem

A student measures the force applied on a box as F=(50±2) NF = (50 \pm 2)\,\text{N} and the horizontal displacement as s=(4.0±0.1) ms = (4.0 \pm 0.1)\,\text{m}. The force is applied at an angle of 30∘30^{\circ} to the direction of displacement (assume this angle is exact). Calculate the percentage uncertainty in the work done on the box.
