Mass vs. Volume: F (X) Nan X + Nan R 0

This document contains experimental data from measurements of mass, diameter, length, and calculated volume and density for 5 cylinders. It also includes analysis questions about the linear relationship between mass and volume, accuracy and precision of the density measurements, evidence of systematic errors, and the measurement that would most affect the density calculation. However, the data tables are incomplete with many blank or error entries, so no conclusions could be drawn.

between 〈𝑀〉 and 〈𝑉〉? Briefly explain your reasoning

Q #2. What is the accuracy of your determination of the density for each
method? Does your experimental value for density agree with -1
the accepted value? Briefly explain your reasoning.

Q #3. Consider the value of the standard error, alpha<dens>,

Mass (g)
as an indication of the precision of your measurements. -2.5
Express the standard error as a percentage of the measured value of
the density and relate it to the accuracy of each of your measurements. -3

Q #4. Is there evidence for a systematic error in any of your measurements -4


of the density? State clearly your evidence either for or against
the presence of a systematic error. -4.5

Q #5. For the same percentage error in each of the three quantities, mass,
diameter, and length, which would contribute the most to the error in
the density? [Hint: Consider the form of Eqs. (17) and (18)].
