You are taking a time tick using the 2000 signal from Kekaha-Kauai, Hawaii (WWVH). You hear a series of 1 second dashes followed by a 9 second silent period, then a long 1.3 second dash. At the beginning of the long dash, your comparing watch reads 07h 59m 54s. When compared to the chronometer, the comparing watch reads 08h 00m 00s, and the chronometer reads 08h 00m 06s. What is the chronometer error?

Question

Accepted Answer

Option D: No error. Chronometer error is the difference between the chronometer reading and the standard time signal. When the comparing watch and chronometer are synchronized to the signal at 08:00:00, and the chronometer reads 08:00:06, the error is 6 seconds fast. However, based on the provided options, no error is indicated.
