The distance travelled by an object in time (100 ± 1)s is (5.2 ± 0.1) m. What are the speed and its maximum relative error?
In a workshop, a worker measures the length of a steel plate with Vernier calipers having a least count 0.01 cm. Four such measurements of the length yielded the following values: 3.11 cm, 3.13 cm, 3.14 cm, 3.14 cm. Find the mean length, the mean absolute error, and the percentage error in the measured value of the length.
