Document Summary

We first filled the beaker up with water, then we poured this water into an overflow cup to the point where water starts dripping from its nozzle. We waited till there"s a drop waiting to come out but it can"t, after that we carefully placed a graduated cylinder under the overflow cup, and immersed a slotted mass tied to a thread into the overflow cup. We noticed that water started dripping as soon as the mass entered the water surface, we left it there and measured the reading of the displaced water on the graduated cylinder. We repeated the above steps for different masses and calculated their volumes using the formula v= 3. 14(r2)(h) then plot it to get the slope. Graphical calculations: slope: y2-y1x2-x1 = m2-m1v2-v1 = 8. 18, calculate the percentage error if the correct value of the density of brass is 8. 5.
