The idea of recording measurements to 0.1 of the least count of the measuring device applies to many different measuring devices. Exercise 2 will give you practice with this idea. You do not need to worry about what the device is or where the units come from, just concentrate on recording the measurements correctly. Exercise 2: a) b) 0.2 Inches amp c) d)
