What's gone wrong? Are all of the above wrong? (assume all other factors contributing to error has been eliminated. Tape measures are made from a variety of materials, including fiber glass. My second doubt is: How can I state the uncertainty?Ġ.85 ± 0.1 cm (But the estimate and the uncertainty have different sig fig? The estimate can't be stated to hundredths place if we are uncertain about tenths place)Ġ.85 ± 0.10 cm (But the isn't Uncertainty given to 1 sig fig most of the time, especially in the case of measuring with a ruler of resolution 1 mm)Ġ.9 ± 0.1 cm (How can we just round it up to 0.9? 1.25 was taken due to the cube ending apparently exactly between 1.20 and 1.30. A tape measure, also called measuring tape, is a type of flexible ruler. The first reading was 0.40 cm and the second reading was 1.25 cm (apparently in the absolute midpoint of 1.20 and 1.30) and the difference is 0.85 cm. Each reading has an uncertainty of ☐.05cm and therefore the measurement will have an uncertainty of ☐.1cm or ☐.10cm? (1st doubt).
