To calculate the percentage error, we use the formula:
Percentage Error = (|Accepted Value - Measured Value| / Accepted Value) x 100%
In this case, the accepted value is 170g and the measured value is 187g.
Percentage Error = (|170g - 187g| / 170g) x 100%
Percentage Error = (| -17g | / 170g) x 100%
Percentage Error = (17g / 170g) x 100%
Percentage Error = 0.1 x 100%
Percentage Error = 10%
Therefore, the student's percentage error in measuring the mass of the object was 10%.
Percentage Error = (|Accepted Value - Measured Value| / Accepted Value) x 100%
In this case, the accepted value is 170g and the measured value is 187g.
Percentage Error = (|170g - 187g| / 170g) x 100%
Percentage Error = (| -17g | / 170g) x 100%
Percentage Error = (17g / 170g) x 100%
Percentage Error = 0.1 x 100%
Percentage Error = 10%
Therefore, the student's percentage error in measuring the mass of the object was 10%.
