Question

In an experiment to measure the acceleration due to gravity g, two independent equally reliable measurements gave 9.67 m/s2 and 9.88 m/s2. Determine (i) the percent difference of the measurements (ii) the percent error of their mean. [Take the theoretical value of g to be 9.81 m/s

Answer 1

Answer:

i. +/- 1.43% and +/- 0.71% ii. +/- 0.33%

Explanation:

$% Error = \frac{Error}{Measurement}* 100%$
