The length of a pencilpp2f/oj xw -7v is measured;-o/oi 3hc( pnw:ooai using part of a metre rule that is graduated in millimetres n(ooa i-:/3;ihwopoc , as shown below.

What is the length of the pencil?

A. $(6.00 \pm 0.10) \; cm$
B. $(6 \pm 0.1) \; cm$
C. $(6 \pm 0.05) \; cm$
D. $(6.00 \pm 0.05) \; cm$


参考答案:  A


本题详细解析:
With a millimetre scale we can take each reading to ±0.5mm, following the rule oa0v7vh /mh0t that the uncertainty is half the smallest division. So when we subtract our two readings to get the length of the pencil, we have to add the absolute uncertai/m7a 0ovthvh0nties, giving 0.10cm. The length must be presented to the same number of decimal places as the uncertainty.
