A 5.00 kg weight is placed on a digital scale. The scale reads 4.98 kg. What
is the error of the scale measurement?

The error of this scale measurement is equal to 0.02 kg.
Given the following data:
To calculate the error of the scale measurement:
Measurement can be defined as an act (process) through which the weight, size, magnitude or distance traveled by an object or body is taken, especially for the purpose of an experiment.
Mathematically, the error of a scale measurement is given by this formula:
[tex]Error = Actual \;measurement-Measured \;value[/tex]
Substituting the given parameters into the formula, we have;
[tex]Error = 5.00-4.98[/tex]
Error = 0.02 kg.
