Theory:
g = 9.8 m/sec2
Measured:
g = 9.7 m/sec2
Relative error
=
Measurement Error?
(how well do you know your measurement of
g = 9.7 m/sec2. Do you know it exactly 9.7 m/sec2 ? )
9.8 m/sec2
9.7 m/sec2

Summary
Systematic error: Reproducible inaccuracy introduced by faulty
equipment, calibration or technique.
Summary-propagation of errors
General formula for propagation of error: If q=q(xi,xi+1 . . . . .,xn) is any function of
xi,xi+1 . . . . .,xn, then
