MEASUREMENT
Accuracy
The closeness of a measurement to the actual value
Consistency
The ability of a measuring instrument to measure with little deviation in the measurements
Sensitivity
The ability of a measuring instrument to detect a small change in the measurements
ERROR
Systematic error
Due to:
Instrument
Random error
Due to: Human mistakes Surrounding factor
Example:
Example:
Zero error
Absolute error (error in calibration)
Parallax error

Mercury Barometer
[Atmospheric pressure is 76 cm Hg ] [Mercury density = 1.36 x 104 kg m3]
Pressure at P = 0 cm Hg Q = 76 cm Hg R = 91 cm Hg S = 106 cm Hg
Pressure at P = 20 cm Hg Q = 76 cm Hg R = 91 cm Hg S = 106 cm Hg

Densities of liquid M = 1000kgm-3 Densities of liquid N = 2500kgm-3 What is the pressure of a. liquid M at point x b. liquid M and N at point y
P = gh = (1000)(10)(0.5) = 5 kPa P = (gh)M + (gh)N = (1000)(10)(0.5) + (2500)(10)(0.3) = 5 kPa + 7.5 kPa = 12.5 kPa
