[单选题]
The length of a pencil is measureo: ofq9ejh/r:x 6a8fnd using part of a metre k;mvpl0i8y:krule that is graduated in 0iyl:8vk;mpk millimetres, 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 readinmt +u+pjas3 s3,c ;qrwg to ±0.5mm, following the rule 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 uncertainties, giving 0.10cm. The length must be preseptm+j;s3u3rqc+ w,a snted to the same number of decimal places as the uncertainty.
