Best Answer

It will create a consistent shift in all your results; it is a systematic error. Eg, might cause all your results to increase by 5.

Zero error of a spring balance?

zerro error in a spring balance affects the accuracy in the weight. To find zero error in spring balance, you have to first find the least count of the spring balance and then suspend it freely, if the outcome is +1, the zero error is +1 and if it is -1 ,the zero error is -1.


How does the zero error affect your measurements?

How do you find the zero error and zero correction in sgrew gauge?

we can find the zero error by closing the jaw of screw guage if the zero of main scale(MS) is concide with the zero of circular scale (CS) there is no zero error and if they are not concide there is a zero error in screw guage .


How do you calculate the mean absolute percent error with a 0 actual value?

By definition of percent error, you can't. But you can approximate zero instead, with the number of decimals appropriate to the accuracy of the measurement, e.g. 0.01, 1E-100, etc.

Define the term zero error of vernier calliper?

The zero error of vernier calliper is defined as :-The zero error is equal to the distance between the zero of the main scale and the zero of the vernier scale.

How can you correct zero error of vernier calliper?

This is in the wrong category, but to answer it... you can't correct the device itself. The error arises from wear and tear. All you can do is calibrate against calipers or other references of known accuracy* and record the correction to be made to its readings. *Accuracy - or precision. I can never quite remember the difference and which is the correct one of the two here.
