Experiment 1 - Density of Objects

This document outlines an experiment to determine the density of various objects. It provides tables with the mass, dimensions, volume, calculated density, standard density, and percent error for each object measured using a Vernier caliper and ruler. The objectives are to use measurement tools to find dimensions, compare their accuracy, and determine density. Materials used are not specified. The conclusion section summarizes what was learned from the experiment.
