To find the least count of the stopwatch, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Range of the Stopwatch**: The range of the stopwatch is the difference between the maximum and minimum time it can measure. In this case, the stopwatch measures from 0 seconds to 5 seconds. \[ \text{Range} = \text{Maximum} - \text{Minimum} = 5 \, \text{s} - 0 \, \text{s} = 5 \, \text{s} ...
