Problem

In an experiment to find the total mechanical energy of an oscillator, the spring constant is measured with a possible error of 2%2\% and the amplitude with a possible error of 3%3\%. Assuming these are the only sources of error, the percentage error in the calculated energy is a) 6.3%6.3\% b) 8%8\% c) 5%5\% d) 11%11\%
