Lucy weighed an object on her balance and recorded amass of 36.5 grams . the weight on the label says it should . weigh 36.8 grams . what is the percent error?
Error in the weight is 0.3g (Difference between the actual 36.8g and the experimented 36.5g) So %Error = Error/Correct value *100% = 0.3/36.8 *100 =0.815% = 0.82% (2 significant figure)
