ABSTRACT
In this experiment we have to determine the mass, weight, volume, and density of a cylinder
and a sphere in order to get their percent error and to determine the unknown metal by
comparing it to its accepted density by our experimental density value. We also have to
record time and speed of a dynamics cart three times in order to get the average time, distance
and speed.

INTRODUCTION

Experiments are required to have measurements that uses numbers to get our results of our
measurements. A physical quantity is that any number that is used to measure quantitatively.
Mass, length, time, etc. are basis of physical quantities and if you combine two or more of
these quantities your results will most likely be derived such as area, volume, density, speed,
etc.

SCHEMATIC PROCEDURE
PROCEDURE

Determining Mass and


Weight

Determining the Volume

1. Prepare the measurement set


as your specimens

2. Using the Top Loading Balance,


measure the mas of each specimen in
grams

3. Using the Xplorer GLX, determin


the weight of each specimen in
Newton.

1. Measure carefully the dimension


of the given specimens.

2. For hollow cylinder, measure


the inner and outer diameter, and
the height
3. Repeat using the Vernier Caliper
in Centimeters.
4. Find the ratio of an inch to a centimeter and
compare with the accepted ratio.
5. Compute for the area and volume
using both systems of measurement.

4. Compare the mass obtained in steps 2 and 3.


Compute for the percentage difference

6. Repeat steps 1 to 4 but this time use spherical block and


measure its radius using a ruler and micrometer caliper

7. Record your data

CONCLUSION

Therefore I conclude that there are a big difference between Vernier Caliper and Micrometer
Caliper. A micrometer is capable of measuring a difference as small as 0.01 mm in general
cases. The Vernier caliper only has the ability to measure differences as small as 0.05 in the
extreme cases.
A single Vernier caliper can measure inner lengths, outer lengths and depths without any
change, but a micrometer can only measure one type at a time. And also that the Ruler is not
that accurate in comes in small measurements.
