Publisher's Synopsis
Exercises in Physical Measurement, written by Louis Winslow Austin and published in 1895, is a comprehensive guidebook for conducting physical measurements in a laboratory setting. The book covers a wide range of topics, including measurements of length, area, volume, mass, density, temperature, and electricity. The author provides detailed instructions on how to use various instruments, such as rulers, calipers, micrometers, balances, thermometers, and galvanometers, to obtain accurate and reliable measurements. The book also includes numerous exercises and experiments, with step-by-step procedures and data tables, to help students and researchers practice and improve their measurement skills.In addition to practical guidance, Exercises in Physical Measurement also includes theoretical discussions on the principles of measurement and the sources of error in measurements. The author emphasizes the importance of precision, accuracy, and consistency in measurement, and provides tips on how to minimize errors and improve the quality of data.Overall, Exercises in Physical Measurement is a valuable resource for anyone who needs to conduct physical measurements in a laboratory setting, whether they are students, researchers, or professionals in fields such as physics, chemistry, engineering, or biology.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
