If you were to calculate t2 for a measurement of t, how would you calculate the uncertainty of t2 from the % uncertainty of t?

Step 1
First, we need to understand that the uncertainty of a measurement is a range within which the true value of the measurement is likely to lie. Show more…

Describe how the uncertainty in a measured value is determined.
How would you decide if there are uncertainties in angle measurements? By swinging the pendulum 10 times and averaging the time. By calculating the average of 15 angle measurements. By asking the instructor to do it. There should be some uncertainty as every measurement has uncertainty.
