The uncertainty of the heavy object if the scale remains constant is 0.24 lbs.

What is uncertainty in measurement?

  • This is the error associated in an attempt measure the object accurately.

The percent uncertainty in measuring the light weight object is calculated as follows;

[tex]= \frac{0.034}{11} \times 100\%\\\\= 0.309\%[/tex]

The uncertainty of the heavy object if the scale remains constant is calculated as follows;

[tex]= \frac{0.309}{100} \times 78.0 \ lbs\\\\= 0.24 \ lbs[/tex]
