(b) From (a)‚ the percentage error of a short time interval (e.g. 10 s) measured by a stop-watch is very large. Since the time intervals of 110-m hurdles are very short in the Olympic Games‚ stop-watches are not used to avoid large percentage errors. Since ZX = ZY = 1 m‚ α = β = 60°. Therefore‚ XY = ZX = ZY = 1 m The magnitude of the displacement
