    The document describes an experiment to determine the density of a material by measuring the mass and volume of a cylinder made of the material. It explains that density is defined as mass per unit volume and can be calculated by measuring a sample's mass and volume. The experiment uses a vernier caliper and balance to precisely measure the cylinder's diameter, height, mass, and from that its volume. The density is then calculated and compared to the known density to find the percentage error.

    (2): Fine Measurements


    Aim of the experiment:
    You will determine the density of material, by measuring the
    mass and volume of a cylinder made of material. You will be
    familiarizing with basic measurement tools such as the balance
    and vernier caliper.
    Theory:
    Density is a physical property of materials. Density of a material is
    defined as the mass per unit volume: . density can determined
    experimentally by measuring the mass and volume of a sample of a
    substance. The volume of a regular shaped object can be calculated from
    length measurements.
    The vernier caliper consists of a movable jaw slides linearly along the
    main scale. The main scale is attached to the fixed jaw. The main scale is
    divided so that its marks are 1.0 mm apart. Vernier scale is a movable
    scale parallel to the main scale, it has 10 or more equally spaced marks in
    addition to the index mark. To make a measurement, the jaws are gently
    closed down on the object to be measured.
