I was grading my labs and in this lab, we used a meter stick and a wooden protractor. A group finally wrote in their write up that they believed the error was due to the inaccurate nature of the equipment. This begs the question, what sort of tolerances do you see in the manufacture a typical wooden meterstick and protractor that you'd find in a university physics department?
