How can the precision of a measuring instrument be increased?

Make sure you are only measuring what you are after. Not noise and local disterbances. Proper system grounding is needed. Make sure the device you are using has been calibrated periodically properly to a N.B.S. standard. Your measurement will only be accurate to 10 times the standards value. That is a 0.3% accurate standard will only give you a 3% accuracy in your measurement.


Why mercury is used in sphygmomanometer?

To make the measuring apparatus a managable size i.e approx 10 inches high for Mercury tube. If water was used the tube would need to be much larger and the apparatus would be unmanageable when being carried around.

If Garrett counts the number of waves that reach the shore over a 10 second period what property of the waves is he measuring?

He is measuring the frequency of the wave. To get his answer he must divide his count by 10 to give cycles per second.


Why is the time measured more than one period if the measure of the period t of the simple harmonic oscillator were done by measuring the time for 10 periods?

Measuring the time for multiple periods instead of just one period improves the accuracy of the measurement by reducing the error that may arise from reaction time or instrument limitations. Averaging the time over multiple periods helps to minimize random errors and provides a more reliable value for the period of the simple harmonic oscillator.
