Yesterday your chronometer read 03h 01m 56s at the 1500 GMT time tick. Today your chronometer read 03h 01m 58s at the 1500 GMT time tick. What is the chronometer error?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is A) 01m 58s fast.
The reasoning is as follows:
1. The chronometer's reading at the 1500 GMT time tick was 03h 01m 56s yesterday, and 03h 01m 58s today.
2. The difference between the two readings is 2 seconds, which means the chronometer is running 2 seconds fast.
3. The other options are incorrect because B) is the absolute reading of the chronometer, not the error; C) and D) are incorrect since the chronometer is running fast, not slow.
The key is to recognize that the chronometer error is the difference between the chronometer's reading and the actual time, which in this case is 2 seconds fast.
