Introduction Wrong or inaccurate measurements can lead to wrong decisions‚ which can have serious consequences‚ costing money and even lives. The human and financial consequences of wrong decisions based on poor measurement being taken in matters as important as environmental change and pollution are almost incalculable. It is important therefore to have reliable and accurate measurements which are agreed and accepted by the relevant authorities worldwide. Metrologists are therefore continuously

Practice Lab Pre-Lab Questions: 1. The rules concerning handling significant figures are as follows: When dividing/multiplying The answer has no more significant digits than the number with the fewest significant digits (the least precise figure). Round off after calculations have been performed. When adding/subtracting Answer has no more places than the addend‚ minuend‚ or subtrahend with the fewest number of decimal places. Significant figures are irrelevant when adding/subtracting

The laboratory To explore the ways aspects of power are shown in the poem. This poem is a dramatic monologue about a woman whose lover is cheating on her with his mistress ‘Pauline’. The woman who is speaking talks about her feelings of hatred and betrayal‚ so she decides to show her lover how much she is hurt by poisoning his mistress and making him watch her die slowly. Robert Browning’s poem was set in the ancient regime when women were thought of as incapable and a lower class because of their

Answer to Questions 1. Describe the type of meter movement used in the analog meters. The two analog meters—namely‚ the voltmeter and the ammeter—employ the d’ Arsonval meter movement. The movement consists essentially of a movable iron-core coil mounted on a pivot between the poles of a permanent magnet. When current flows through the coil‚ it creates a torque which causes the pointer to deflect. The amount of current through the coil determines the deflection of the pointer‚ which is registered

In The Laboratory‚ the courtesan chooses poison as her murder weapon. Poison is often the weapon of choice for female killers. It requires little or no physical strength to administer‚ and can be done secretly. It also leaves little evidence thus making it difficult to detect the culprit. We believe the act of murder is because of another woman that her lover is with and she feels physically inferior to her rival. We know this because she starts saying ‘What a drop! She’s not little‚ no minion like

Theory The first experiment focused on the concept of errors and uncertainties that are obtained during measurements. For an experiment to be successful‚ especially those that involve measurements‚ the number of significant figures must be known. Significant figures are the digits required to express a measured quantity and thus reflect the accuracy of the measurement. Uncertainty is defined as the smallest increment that can be measured and is defined by the instrument used. An error is defined
