Lab 1.4
Volume by Displacement of Water
Experimental Errors:
1. Sand sticks to side of cylinder.
2. Crack in funnel-sand leaks out.
3. Read level of sand wrong (volume of sand and water).
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Didn't matter how much sand you began with, the percent of air space without the sand is about 40%.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Equations:
1. is = air dry sand(air)-sand=volume of air
of dry sand
2. (sand+water)-water= sand alone
3. dry sand(air)-sand=volume of air
