An engineer uses a stopwatch to measure the duration of an event. The digital stopwatch reading shows 0.77 s. (a) What uncertainty is implied by the reading itself without any other knowledge? (b) Suppose the stopwatch manufacturer specifications state an error of up to 1% of the reading. What value of uncertainty might you state with the reading? (c) Suppose the engineer adds an uncertainty of 0.05 s due to reaction time. What uncertainty might you state with the reading?
