What will I learn?

This concise, practical course on measurements and uncertainties leads you through planning a precise pendulum experiment, measuring length and period accurately, and using statistical methods to quantify uncertainties. You'll propagate errors to determine g, create an error budget, compare with standard values, and produce clear, reproducible reports that enhance all your future measurements.

Elevify advantages

Develop skills

  • Uncertainty propagation: calculate g using partial derivatives and relative errors.
  • Error budgets: identify key error sources and optimise pendulum measurements efficiently.
  • Statistical tests for agreement: rigorously compare measured g with accepted values.
  • Precision timing and length measurement: plan repeated trials and determine 1-sigma errors.
  • Professional lab reporting: present g ± u(g) with units, significant figures, and percentage error.
