A student uses a micrometer screw gauge to measure the diameter of a wire. He fails to
notice that, with the gauge fully closed, the reading is not zero.

into the readings of the diameter.

A student uses a metre rule to measure the length of an elastic band before and after
stretching it.
The lengths are recorded as
length of band before stretching, L0 = 50.0 0.1 cm
length of band after stretching, LS = 51.6 0.1 cm.

A unit is often expressed with a prefix. For example, the gram may be written with the prefix
kilo as the kilogram. The prefix represents a power-of-ten. In this case, the power-of-ten
is 103.
