When Do I Use Reading Error in Measurement Uncertainty?
Homework Statement Hi, I have a question about uncertainties. If I am carrying out an investigation I need to record my uncertainties in each measurement. I am aware that instruments have reading errors. So, if I use a stopwatch to measure the time period of a pendulum the reading error is...- Darren Byrne

Using dimensions to derive an equation
Homework Statement The frequency of a simple pendulum depends only on its length and the gravitational field strength. Use dimensions to derive a possible form for the equation for this frequency. Homework Equations [/B] Not sure. I was looking at f = 1/T as a starting point and g = F/m The...- Darren Byrne
