本题详细解析:
We should be looking at thw 9v:ie1 1o/b6gsf prxe cm scale! The uncertainty in a reading on a scale is usually taken as half the smallest division. Here the smallest division is 0.5 cmxr sb:ie69v1pf w/g o1 so we can read each point on the scale to an accuracy of 0.25 cm. To find the length of the pencil we must take two measurements - one for each end of the pencil. This means that we must also add the uncertainties, giving an uncertainty of 0.5cm.
