18. The error used in this determination is the sum of the following errors in quadrature propagated through Eq. (1) for each value of λ: mass-to-mass distance, 4%; actuator amplitude, 7%; gold density, 3%; silicon density, 1%; test and drive mass lateral dimensions, 2% and 1%; test and drive mass thickness, 5% and 3%.
