:::Fortunately, the one advantage is that they can be fairly easy to think about even if very difficult to describe precisely.  Let's say you have a cube where the length is 99% accurate, the height is 99% accurate and the width is 99% accurate.  What is the accuracy of the volume of the cube if all the inaccuracies are inaccuracies of smallness? You might think it's 99% since all the accuracies match.  But what you do is multiply them through .9900000 x .9900000 x .9900000 = .970299..., and you get only about 97.03% accurate for the volume.  You might want to learn more about the accuracies of your measurements and how big of a mass the total inaccuracy is to see the size of the mass that might be "missing" from the equation.

Well, if one doesn't want to do the mathematics, one should stay away from physics. If Andrew Schlafly wants to argue that there is a problem with the accuracy of the experiment, he he should be able to perform the error analysis. --[[User:AugustO|AugustO]] 02:40, 25 June 2015 (EDT)
