What Will I Learn?
This concise, hands-on Measurements and Uncertainties Course leads you in crafting a precise pendulum experiment, measuring length and period accurately, and assessing uncertainties using straightforward statistical methods. Master error propagation to determine g, construct error budgets, validate against 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 in timing and length: plan repeated trials and determine 1-sigma errors.
- Professional lab reports: display g ± u(g), units, significant figures, and percentage error.
