Question
Explain, giving examples, the errors that occur while making measurements.
✓
Answer
Major causes of errors in measurement are:
- Not using the appropriate device.
- Not using the device properly.
Example: While buying things at grocery shops and the vegetable market remember to look out for the following:
- The balance should carry the stamp of standardisation by the department of weights and measures.
- Balance should be stable. The pointer of the balance should be upright.
- No changes should be done on the underside of the pan of the balance.
- Weight should be made up of metals and it has to be standardized.
