Time for 20 oscillations of a pendulum is measured as t1= 39.6 s; t 2= 39.9 s; t 3= 39.5 s. What is the precision in the measurements? What is the accuracy of the measurement?
Time for 20 oscillations of a pendulum is measured as t1= 39.6 s; t 2= 39.9 s; t 3= 39.5 s. What is the precision in the measurements? What is the accuracy of the measurement?
This is a short answer type question as classified in NCERT Exemplar
t1=39.6s, t2=39.9s and t3=39.5s
Least count of measuring instrument =0.1s
Precision in the measurement =least count of the measuring instrument =0.1s
So mean value of 20 observation
Mean value of t=
Absolute error in
t1= t-t1 = 39.7-39
