Physics And Measurement Question 178

Question: The period of oscillation of a simple pendulum in the experiment is recorded as 2.63 s, 2.56 s, 2.42 s, 2.71 s and 2.80 s respectively. The average absolute error is

Options:

A) 0.1 s

B) 0.11 s

C) 0.01 s

D) 1.0 s

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: B

Solution:

Average value =2.63+2.56+2.42+2.71+2.805

=2.62sec Now |ΔT1|=2.632.62=0.01

|ΔT2|=2.622.56=0.06

|ΔT3|=2.622.42=0.20

|ΔT4|=2.712.62=0.09

|ΔT5|=2.802.62=0.18 Mean absolute error ΔT=|ΔT1|+|ΔT2|+|ΔT3|+|ΔT4|+|ΔT5|5

=0.545=0.108=0.11sec
