What is the instrumental uncertainty of the clock and the odometer?

Every instrument has some uncertainty. No instrument is accurate. It depends on the least count of the instrument. The accuracy of a measurement is given by its uncertainty. The uncertainty is generally calculated as 50% of the least count of the instrument. Let us say, a clock can measure precisely till 1 s. it means it has a least count of 1 s. Then uncertainty of this clock would be 50% of 1 s= 0.5 s. Odometer is an instrument in a vehicle which measures and displays the total distance traveled. Let us say the odometer has a least count of 1 km. Then, its uncertainty would be = 50% of 1 km=0.5 km.

Every measuring instrument has an inherent uncertainty that is determined by the precision of the instrument.

The instrumental uncertainty is 50%

magnityde and direction

hi,

what occurs during a solar eclipse?

there are small tides across earth.

the moon is between earth and the sun.

p.s. im not sure if the first answer is correct because during a solar ecliphse there are spring tides and i dont know if they are the same.
