Question
Chapter PSS, Problem 1ST
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The balance that has the least uncertainty is to be identified.
Concept Introduction:
Many instruments are used to measure physical quantities. The uncertainty in the value of an instrument is the measurement of the degree of inexactness in the reading of the instruments. The uncertainty of an instrument is represented with a pulse-minus sign because an error can be added or subtracted from the reading.
