This is bad! :(
I got to know Stopwatch has 0.1second
while for the syringe it depends on the calibration! If 1CC(cm^3) is covered in 10 divisions then Uncertainty is 0.1cm^3.
But I'm not sure about StopWatch My another teacher said it was 0.01 seconds plus our reaction error (which is approx. 0.3)
If my Sir repliea by tmrw i'll post here...otherqise....

and to determine the diameter of the tube , will we use the vernier caliper to determine the internal or the external diameter ?

Yes use vernier caliper for both internal n external diameter...and about area...i dun think theyllask such questions..

So Uncertainty of Stopwatch is 0.1seconds(+ our human reaction time) and not 0.01 seconds right?

Read the uncertainty of Stopwatch from OCR book(I have taken it from DARK DRAGON 's post)
pg 33, IT SAYS uncertainty in 0.01 seconds
dude the inacuracy is 0.3-0.5 but we can write it too 0.01 second cause our stopwatch shows the reading to 0.01 s, even cie people think taking into account human error would be a bit higher then our level i guess

Nevermind Human reaction error! Tell me the EXACT uncertainty of Stopwatch, is it 0.1 or 0.01seconds?
