September 14th, 2016: LAB 6: Propagated Uncertainty in Measurements

Michell Kuang
Lab partners: Charles, Anthony
Date performed: 09/14/16

In this lab, we learned how to calculate propagated error in density. To do this, we took measurements of three different cylinders that had different masses, and used this data to calculate the densities.

To measure the diameter and height of these cylinders, we used vernier calipers. To measure the masses, we used a scale.

Data of measurements and calculation of densities

From this lab, we were able to learn how to use vernier calipers to take measurements. In addition to that, we were able to use our data to calculate various densities.
