Explain, giving examples, the errors that occur while making measurements.

Answer»

Major causes of errors in measurement are:

1. Not using the appropriate device. 

2. 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.
