Measurement of Density

Purpose of the Lab:

"To determine the densities of five different objects, and to express the result for each with the proper number of significant digits."  

Introduction:

Method and Materials:

Wood Block
Wood Cylinder
Yellow Metal Cylinder
Graduated Cylinder
50mL Tap Water
25 Paper Clips
Balance
Meter Stick
Paper Cup

Data Charts:

Object	Length	Width	Height	Diameter	Volume	Mass
Wood Block	7.45 cm	7.55 cm	3.50 cm			156.45 g
Wood Cylinder			10.0 cm	2.45 cm		35.25 g
Yellow Metal Cylinder			5.0 cm	1.1 cm		54.9
Paperclips (25)					1 mL	9.9 g

Graduated Cylinder 			=	 113.80 g
Graduated Cylinder + 50 mL water 	= 	163.30 g

Equations and Calculations:

D = m/v				v = l x w x h			V = Π r2 h

Percent Error =  |accepted value - experimental value|  x 100
