- Each measurement we take has a level of uncertainty in it. The smaller the uncertainty, the larger the precision our measurement has. Let's revisit how one might go about estimating the uncertainty in a measurement. If we assume our instrument is properly calibrated and we are not introducing systematic error through improper techniques, then if we take enough measurements, the average of these measurements will be around the true value. The upper and lower bounds of these measurements would then give us one method for determining our measuring device's uncertainty. (This of course is only true for a large set of measurements, but the approximation is good enough for now to get us started). For example, say we perform last week's experiment of pulling a block at a constant velocity with a force sensor across another rough surface. We take the following five measurements: F, = {2.51 N, 2.53 N, 2.50 N, 2.54 N, 2.49 N} The average of this dataset is F, = 2.51 N Now we have the choice of…arrow_forward2) Find the missing values: (a) 3.0 N1.0 kg 5.0N (b) 2.0N- 120 kg 3.0 N 5.0N -5.0 N -2.0N i- 2.0 m/s?
