Question

Explain how the readings on both meters change when the environmental conditions change.

Answer 1

Answer:

* Temperature changes

* Changes in the tension

* Errors in the meter marks

Explanation:

When we are using several meters to make a measurement we have several aspects that can cause the readings to differ.

* Temperature changes make the dilation between readings different, at higher temperatures the material of the meter expands and the reading decreases.

* Changes in the tension with which the meter is pulled to keep it straight, in general all materials bend under the action of gravity, so you have to pull them to make them straight, if the forces are different from the material is lengthened decide Young's modulus, inducing different readings

* Errors in the meter marks, especially in the initial part that is covered by a hook, different positions of the hook change the readings.

* Structural problems, such as rust, bends that create changes in the length of the meter material.
