An experiment is conducted to measure the length of a metal rod using a meter scale. The reading on the meter scale at the left end is 5 cm, and the reading at the right end is 21 cm. Determine the length of the metal rod.
16 mm
160 cm
160 mm
1.6 cm
Given values:
Reading at the left end (L) = 5 cm
Reading at the right end (R) = 21 cm
The length of the metal rod (D) can be calculated by subtracting the reading at the left end from the reading at the right end:
D = R - L
Step 1: Calculate the length of the metal rod:
D = 21 cm - 5 cm = 16 cm
The length of the metal rod is 16 cm.
The length of the metal rod is calculated to be 16 cm or 160 mm.
