Physics I Laboratory Faculty of Science, Ontario Tech University Report PhyI-01: Measurement and Evaluation of Physical Parameters Student’s name: Avimannue Dey CRN: 42693 Date 2/10/2023 TA Signature_____________________ Experiment #1: Linear Dimensions and Volume Hypothesis What method do you think will be more precise for measuring the object’s volume (a) using calipers to measure linear dimensions and then calculate the volume or (b) just measuring the volume of water displaced by the object? Why do you thing so? Measurements Shape of the regular-shaped object: Cylinder Table 1.1. Measurements, linear in cm and volume in ml ( cm 3 ) Object Height of cylinder or block, h, cm Diameter of cylinder, d , or width of block, w, cm regular-shaped object 6.46 6.46 6.46 6.46 6.46 2.22 2.22 2.22 2.22 2.22 irregular-shaped object N/A* N/A *Not Applicable Object Length of block only, l , cm Displaced volume, V D , ml (cm 3 ) regular-shaped object 24.5 25.0 25.0 25.5 25.0 irregular-shaped object N/A 25.5 25.0 25.0 25.0 25.0 Report PhyI-01: Measurement and Evaluation of Physical Parameters Measuring the volume of the water displaced should be more precise as the volume of the water displaced will be the final volume of the object with no additional calculations being required. However, finding the volume indirectly will result in more measurements being made and hence the uncertainty will add up, hence it is possible that it won’t be as precise as the displacement method ( if done correctly and carefully ).
