Best Answer

The zero error (if positive) is the distance from the edge of the ruler to the point where the actual measurements begin or (if negative) is the length that has been lost - through abrasion - before the point where the measurements should start.

Many meter rules are marked in centimetres. The reading uncertainty for such rules is 0.5 cm (= 5 mm).

What is the zero error and the reading uncertainty (error) for a meter rule?

The zero error depends on the user, and the wear on the metre rule. Given that smaller rulers have about 2mm of material before the zero mark, wear is unlikely to exceed that without being noticed. The reading error is +/- 1 mm.

Why is a rule or steel tape more accurate in taking the measurements of any object than a meter stick?

Mainly because the meter stick is thicker and if your eye isn't exactly over the mark you are measuring there will be an error due to parallax. The thinner the measuring device the better result you achieve.
