EXPERIMENT NO. 1: DENSITY OF OBJECTS

I. Short introduction

II. Objectives: At the end of this experiment, you should be able to:
 Use Vernier caliper to measure the dimensions of objects;
 Compare the degree of accuracy in measurements between the Vernier caliper and
ruler; and
 Determine the density of the given objects.
