journal contribution
posted on 2023-05-17, 11:42 authored by de Souza, P, Brasil, GHThis paper describes how to calculate measurement uncertainties using as a practical example the assessment of the thickness of ping-pong balls and their material density. The advantages of a randomized experiment are also discussed. This experiment can be reproduced in the physics laboratory for undergraduate students.
