Answer #1

Answer: Systematic Error

A systematic error is an error that will always have the same magnitude and the same algebraic sign under the same conditions. A systematic error of a single kind is cumulative. The cumulative errors are those which occur in the same direction and tend to add up or accumulate i.e. either to make the apparent measurement always too long or too short.
