To determine which of the given length measurements is the most accurate, we need to analyze the precision of each measurement based on their least count. The least count is defined as the smallest division or increment that can be measured by an instrument. The smaller the least count, the more precise and accurate the measurement is. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Measurements**: The given measurements are: - 5.01 cm - 0.006 cm - 0.005 cm ...
