illustrations on errors

The document provides calculations for measuring the length of a cylinder, including the most accurate length, absolute errors, mean absolute error, relative error, and percentage error. It also includes examples of calculating absolute and percentage errors for the value of 'g' and the period of oscillation of a pendulum. Additionally, it discusses the area of a rectangle with error limits based on its dimensions.

rOlowing observations were taken witha vernier callipers while measuring thelength of a cylinder:
3.Z9 cm, 3.28 cm, 3.29 cm, 3.31 cm., 3.28 cm. 3.27 cm, 3.29 cm, 3.30cm Then find:
(a) Most accurate length of the cylinder. (b)Absolute error in each observation.
(c) Mean absolute error (d) Relative error

(e) Percentage error


Express theresult in terms of absolute error and percentage erro.
Solution:
length = 3.28875 cm =3.29 cm
