Question

.

Find the percent error in this situation:
Experimental value: 16.5 sec
Theoretical value: 17.1 sec

Answer 1

Answer: 3.51%

Explanation:

Percent error is theoretical minus experimental, divided by the theoretical, and multiplied by 100.

`error=(((T-E))/(T) )*100`

`error=(((17.1-16.5))/(17.1) )*100`

= 3.51%
