Question
Chapter PSS, Problem 6E
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The measurements which correspond to metric Ruler B shown in Figure PSS.2 are to be stated.
Concept Introduction:
The exact precision of the reading depends upon the sensitivity of the instrument. An exact measurement is not possible as all instruments have a certain degree of uncertainty. Higher the uncertainty, less precise will be the measurement.
