to find percentage value do this 100% sure
{ [ ( largest_value - Smallest_value ) / 2 ] / [ ( average_value ) ] } x 100 = percentage uncertainty
eg we have d1 = 6.8 and d2 = 6.9
percentage uncertainty = { [ ( 6.9 - 6.8 ) / 2 ] / [ ( 6.9 + 6.8 ) / 2 ] } x 100 = 0.72 %

FOR K VALUES DO THIS
find 1 percent of bigger k value and minus that from the bigger value or add it to small value and check if they lay within 1 percent of each other
what do you mean by K VALUE? i dont understand...

Me. :p Made a stupid mistake with the graph. And it took me 1 hr 15 mins just to take measurements because there was something wrong with my apparatus. It just won't oscillate. Then the lab attendant came and fixed mine and the rest of the student's apparatus.

Hey, in the second one, how many marks do we lose for using the diameter instead of the radius in all the calculations?
