MEASUREMENTS AND ERROR ANALYSIS
1. Calculate the % error between your calculate value of density and the expected value
of 2.699 g/cm3
.
2. Which of the 3 densities gave the most accurate answer? Was this what you expected
why or why not? Explain!
3. Was the propagating error involved in calculating the density significant with any
combination of the measuring devices? Explain.
4. What were the random errors involved and how did they affect the density and
uncertainty calculation?
5. What systematic errors were involved?
6. Comment on any other sources of error that could have been involved.
