the best Valentines this year! Flight tickets from Manila to Boracay and other Philippine destinations are on sale courtesy of Cebu Pacifics Lite Fare Sale Mates Promo! Because with Cebu Pacific, you arrive at your destinations on time! Unlike Air Canadas flight 143 on July 23, 1983, which became one of the biggest mathematical disasters. The plane carrying a total of 61 passengers and 8 crews ran out of fuel right in the middle of its flight, which was 41,000 feet or 12,000 meters altitude halfway from Montreal to Edmonton. The error was simple; the ground crew filled the tanks according to their records assuming the units to be liters when in fact it was supposedly gallons! Physical quantity is defined as any number that is used to describe a physical phenomenon quantitavely. An example of this is your weight and your height. Particular physical quantities are so fundamental that the only way to define them is to describe how to measure them, this is called operational definition like for example measuring a distance by a ruler or measuring the time it takes for you to prepare yourself for school with a stopwatch. In measuring quantities, we always compare with a reference standard. When we describe the length of a frame as exactly 6 meters we mean 6 times as long as a meter stick, which we define to be 1 meter long. This is an example of a unit defining the standard of the quantity. To make accurate, reliable measurements, we need units of measurement that do not change and that can be duplicated by observers in various locations, thus, the International System or SI was created. --Imagine the lives at stake brought by minimal errors like this! Two royalties are

here with us to share their very own tips in avoiding errors in measurements particularly with regards to the units of length. N: King of Kingdom Verny There are two types of measurement error, systematic and random. A systematic error is a component of error that remains constant or depends in a specific manner on some other quantity. Readings will consistently be either too high or too low, thus, repeated trials will not reduce systematic error. On the other hand, a random error is associated with the fact that when a measurement is repeated, it will provide a different value. It is random since the next measured value cannot be predicted from the previous values. The effect of random error can be reduced through repeated experimental trials, since there is an equal probability of them being high or low each time a reading is taken. Accuracy refers to how closely the measured value of a quantity corresponds to its true value. Precision expresses the degree of reproducibility, or arrangement between repeated measurements. Name Origin of Vernier Scale: Invented in the year 1631 by French mathematician Piere Vernier Purpose of Vernier Scale: Vernier scales can be read because the human eye can detect whether two line segments are aligned or if they are slightly off alignment. Vernier acuity is the ability by a person to detect the proper alignment of two line segments. In most people, Vernier acuity is particularly high, allowing one to accurately differentiate between aligned and misaligned marks on a Vernier scale. Parts of Vernier Scale: Fixed Jaw Blade, Movable Jaw Blade, Vernier Scale, Main Scale, Knife-edge measuring faces for inside

measurement, depth measuring Process of Using it: PRESENT HOW YOUR WAY, CLEARLY Least count: .05mm or 50 micrometers (the size of the smallest division)

R: Emperor of the Micro Republic Name Origin of Micrometer Scale: The word micrometer is a neoclassical coinage from Greek micros, "small", and metron, "measure". Invented by
William Gascoigne

Purpose of Micrometer Scale: sometimes known as a micrometer screw gauge, is a device incorporating a calibrated screw used widely for precise measurement of small distances in mechanical engineering Parts of Micrometer Scale: Anvil, Spindle,locking unit, vernier scale, sleeve, arc, thimble Process of Using it: PRESENT THIS ON YOUR OWN WORDS clearly Least Count: .01 mm or 10 micrometers

J: Today, not only are we lucky to have these royalties to share their knowledge were also lucky to have the chance to humiliate each of them without getting in prison! The mechanics of the game are the following: The class will be divided into two groups (NATE I DONT GET YOUR MECHANICS WITH REGARDS TO THE PARTY POPPERS AND ETC. SO PLEASE EDIT THIS ONE) Things I wanted to include in the script that I cannot insert: Significant figures are very essential in Science. Each recorded measurement has a certain number of significant digits. Calculations done on these measurements must follow the rules for significant digits. The significance of a digit has to do with whether it represents

a true measurement or not. Any digit that is actually measured or estimated will be considered significant. Placeholders, or digits that have not been measured are not considered significant. There are rules in determining the significance of a digit. First, digits from 19 are always significant. Second, zeroes between two other significant digits are always significant. Also, one or more additional zeroes to the right of both the decimal place and another significant digit are significant. Lastly, zeroes used solely for spacing the decimal point are not significant. In propagation of errors, when measuring some quantities, it is evident that somehow it is recorded with uncertainties. In calculating the uncertainty, it must propagate to the uncertainty of the value. Assume we measure two values A and B, using some apparatus. We know these values are uncertain. By physical reasoning, testing, repeated measurements, or manufacturers specifications, we estimate the magnitude of their uncertainties. u{A} is the absolute error in A, and u{B} is the absolute error in B. The relative errors are u{A}/A and u{B}/B. Least count of any precision instrument is defined as the least distance travelled by it. For a micrometer it is measured in the following manner. Least count (L.C) of a screw gauge = Pitch/ Number of circular scale division. Pitch and Number of circular scale divisions are the two factors determining the least count of Micrometer. The Vernier principle is the measurement of a continuous variable, example a length, results in a decimal fraction. Some digits are read off the labeling of the scale, but the last fractional digit must be estimated. The main scale divides the unit interval in ten equal parts, the vernier scale uses a division into nine parts or a multiple thereof. Both scales together will give us a tenfold increase in resolution.

An ordinary vernier caliper has jaws you can place around an object, and on the other side jaws made to fit inside an object. These secondary jaws are for measuring the inside diameter of an object. Also, a stiff bar extends from the caliper as you open it that can be used to measure depth. Preparation to take the measurement, loosen the locking screw and move the slider to check if the vernier scale works properly. Before measuring, do make sure the caliper reads 0 when fully closed. If the reading is not 0, adjust the calipers jaws until you get a 0 reading. If you cant adjust the caliper, you will have to remember to add to subtract the correct offset from your final reading. Clean the measuring surfaces of vernier caliper and the object, then you can take the measurement. Close the jaws lightly on the item which you want to measure. If you are measuring something round, be sure the axis of the part is perpendicular to the caliper. Namely, make sure you are measuring the full diameter. An ordinary caliper has jaws you can place around an object, and on the other side jaws made to fit inside an object. These secondary jaws are for measuring the inside diameter of an object. Also, a stiff bar extends from the caliper as you open it that can be used to measure depth. In reading the measured value, read the centimeter mark on the fixed scale to the left of the 0-mark on the vernier scale. Then find the millimeter mark on the fixed scale that is just to the left of the 0mark on the vernier scale. Look along the ten marks on the vernier scale and the millimeter marks on the adjacent fixed scale, until you find the two that most nearly line up. To get the correct reading, simply add this found digit to your previous reading.
