Suppose the three fundamental standards of the metric system were length, density, and time rather than length, mass, and time. The standard of density in this system is to be defined as that of water. What considerations about water would you need to address to make sure that the standard of density is as accurate as possible?
ProcedurePart A: Circles and Ratio of Circumference/Diameter1. Obtain three different sizes of cups, containers, or beakers with circular cross section. Trace around the bottoms to make three large but different-sized circles on a blank sheet of paper. 2. Mark the diameter on each circle by drawing a straight line across the center. Measure each diameter in cm and record the measurements in Table 2.1. Repeat this procedure for each circlefor three times. 3. Measure the circumference of each circle by carefully positioning a string around the object’s base, then mark the place where the string ends meet. Measure the length in cm and record the measurements for each circle in Table 2.1. Repeat the procedure for each circle for three trials. Find the ratio of the circumference of each circle to its diameter. Fill the ratio for each trial in Table 2.1. 4. The ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter is known as pi (symbol π), which has a value of about 3.14. Compare your…
