Statement:
This is a experiment to measure dimensions of different cylinder metal using vernier calipers and calculating the destiny of the metal.
Theory:
Using the vernier calipers to measure the diameter and height of the metal and weight the metal. Then calculate the density using m/v.
Statement:
Vernier calipers have two sets of scale. The one on the top can measure the length precise to 0.1 cm. The one on the bottom has 9 lines. To be perfect measured, only one line can fit perfect with the line on the top, then the reading will be you value on the hundredth. Using this vernier caliper we can have more precise data.

Then we use the datas we collected to calculate the density of the metals.

Conclusion:
This experiment shows how to use vernier caliper and explain how it works. It is a very helpful tool to measure the dimensions of small objects. It provides more accurate datas for later calculation and decreases the error.
