VI-1 Pendulum Bob Diameter, d: Ruler measurements (cm) 2.40 2.30 2.40 Caliper measurements (mm) 24.9 25.0 25.1 Range for ruler measurements is maximum minimum = 2.40 cm 2.30 cm = 0.10 cm or 1.00 mm Range for caliper measurements is maximum minimum = 25.1 mm 24.9 mm = 0.20 mm or 0.02 cm The equations above show that the Caliper has a smaller range indicating that it is more precise than the ruler. 100 g mass thickness: Ruler measurements (cm) 0.80 0.60 0.65 Caliper measurements (mm) 8.50 8.70 8.70 Range for ruler measurements is maximum minimum = 0.80 cm 0.60 cm = 0.20 cm or 2.00 mm Range for caliper measurements is maximum minimum = 8.70 mm 8.50 mm = 0.20 mm or 0.02 cm The equations above show that the Caliper has a smaller range meaning it is more precise. The size of the range of ruler measurements of the pendulum bob is smaller than the size of the range of ruler measurements of the 100 g mass. Considering that the 100 g mass has a flat surface and isn’t a sphere, it is unusual that the range for the pendulum bob would be smaller. There is one measurement for the 100 g mass that is an outlier, 0.80 cm, which leads me to believe there was human error when measuring the 100 g mass.

VI-4 X 0 = 59.3 cm Values of X are determined the same way as in VI-3 Slope and Intercept (including their uncertainties) were calculated the same way as in VI-3 Using the equation for K in VI-3: k = ( 980 cm s 2 ) ( 7.660955 g cm ) = 7507.7359 g s 2 which is the same answer as in VI-3 m (g) X m (cm) X (cm) 20 56.8 2.5 20 56.9 2.4 20 56.8 2.5 40 54.2 5.1 40 54.1 5.2 40 54.2 5.1 60 51.7 7.6 60 51.6 7.7 60 51.5 7.8 80 49.0 10.3 80 49.1 10.2 80 49.1 10.2 100 46.2 13.1 100 46.3 13.0 100 46.2 13.1 120 43.8 15.5 120 43.9 15.4 120 43.8 15.5 Slope 7.660955 0.966287 Intercept Uncertainty of Slope 0.039623 0.398347 Uncertainty of intercept
Using the equation for σ k in VI-3: σ k = ( 980 cm s 2 ) ( 0.039623 g cm ) = 38.83054 g s 2 which is the same answer as in VI-3 The value of k is the same as determined in VI-3 k ±σ k = 7508 ± 40 g / s 2
