Physics textbook with metrology chapters

In summary, metrology is the science of measurement and its application, which is closely related to physics. It is important to have metrology chapters in a physics textbook to provide students with the necessary knowledge and skills for accurate measurements and to understand the significance of precise measurements in physics. Typical topics covered in metrology chapters include units, standards, techniques, instruments, error analysis, and uncertainty. Metrology concepts are applied in various real-world scenarios, such as in engineering, medicine, and industry, to ensure accurate and reliable measurements. Ethical considerations, such as accuracy and traceability, are important in metrology to maintain the validity and reproducibility of scientific findings.

Hi everyone,

For my intro to Physics class, I'm looking for a resource that has a wide variety of metrology questions that I could use to practice.

Does anyone happen to have a good one off the top of their head, please? I could look elsewhere but I'm hoping someone's personal experience can be useful in picking one.
