i had a que.
if when reading a volt meter or a stop watch and i get 4 eg. 23.32s and then i have to find t2 which should be to 4 or 5 sf and then i have to plot a graph using ma values of t2, so it would be difficult to locate points such as 1.2345 , so do i round ma t values to 23.3s?? is that ok
nd thanx spy 4 all ur help

- when taking values off a stopwatch for example, you should write the timing to the resolution of the stop watch, meaning if the time recorded was 00:06:42, then you write it was 6.42 and not 6.4, even if it was 00:06:00, you still write it as 6.00. these are called RAW VALUES.
- when doing calculations involving raw values,
you should always keep them to the same significant figures are the raw values, and yes its very important, examiners care alot about these stuff in practicals unlike other papers.
