Excerpt from book: Part IL Experiments for Course Entitled Physical Laboratory Practice. Materials.?A metal cylinder; a steel scale graduated on one side in inches and hundredths and on the other in fifths of a mm., two well- squared wooden blocks; rubber bands. Experiment.?1. Find the length and diameter of the cylinder in inches and hundredths, and in cm. and hundredths, and calculate its volume in cu. in. and cu. cm. Use here and hereafter all precautions for measurement indicated in Part I. Form two tables with proper title and headings for the columns, one for the English and one for the metric measurements. 2. Clamp the cylinder between the blocks so that when the system rests on the table the cylinder and two faces of the blocks shall be in good contact with the table and one end of the cylinder nearly flush with the ends of the blocks. Measure the distance apart of the blocks at a point as near as possible to the middle of the end of the cylinder. Record in preceding table. Measure also the length. 3. Get two more sets of measurements and record. 4. Average results in each table and compute the relation of the cu. in. to the cu. cm.?If you are sure of your measurements only to the first decimal place, to what place are you sure of your result? Between what limits do the former lie? Between what must the latter lie? Materials.?A screw micrometer; two pieces each of straight iron and copper wire with well squared ends; a steel scale. Experiment.?1. Describe the piece and show to what degree of accuracy it measures. State the graduation of the horizontal and the circular scale and give a rule for reading. 2. Number the four wires and find by repeated trials the diameter of each. Measure at both ends and along several diameters. 3. With the steel scale find the...
