Hey guys, for my Physics lab we were asked two question.. one of them was to determine how well of an instrument our human body is (in terms of the five senses)... And to determine the height of a clock tower using only a meter stick.. The second question was easy enough.. But were having problems determining limitations of some of the senses..
For instance, with smell how are we supposed to measure the limitation of which the human body can smell? in my opinion this is a ridiculous question, but maybe I'm just not thinking clearly..
Some of them are easy enough, for instance with touch we researched reaction times etc.. and with hearing, we found out the minimum decibel of sound our ears can hear..
The main thing he want's is for us to use numbers to describe these limitations
If anybody has any tips or advice it'd be much appreciated
