A Student's Manual of a Laboratory Course in Physical Measurements: Revised Edition (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
Excerpt from A Student's Manual of a Laboratory Course in Physical Measurements: Revised Edition
In truth, however, only the first two figures are known and the result should be written 2200 cc. If now greater care is taken in measuring and the diameter of the rod is found to be cm., the student is justified in keeping another figure in the value of 7: and another figure in the result, and the latter may be written 2190 cc. Still further care in measurement might justify keeping still another figure in the result. The record should, on the other hand, show all the accuracy attained. If several succeed ing figures are known to be ciphers, they should be entered as such, although decimals. For example, if in weighing with balances sufficiently sensitive to detect milligrams the weight of a body is exactly 12 grams, it should be entered as grams.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is an introductory manual for laboratory physics, containing experiments designed to support students' understanding of core physics concepts. Authored by a Harvard College professor, the first edition was released in 1893 and has undergone revisions to reflect changes in the course it was designed to support. The book begins with the basics of physics, from simple measurements of length, density, and volume, through to more complex topics such as sound, light, and magnetism. Each concept is explained via experiments that guide the reader through data gathering, analysis, and result interpretation. The manual emphasizes precision in measurement and presents calculations that demonstrate how to apply experimental results to real-world scenarios. The book's methodology has stood the test of time, remaining current despite advancements in technology and retaining its value as a guide to the fundamentals of experimental physics. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
