Calculating Average Density of a Bar

Calculation of Average Density

• Trial 1: Height = 6.50 cm, Diameter = 1.25 cm, Mass = 46.83 g
• Trial 2: Height = 6.45 cm, Diameter = 1.26 cm, Mass = 46.332 g
• Trial 3: Height = 6.44 cm, Diameter = 1.23 cm, Mass = 47.0141 g

To calculate the average density of the bar, we will use the formula:

Let's calculate the average density for each trial:

Trial 1:

Average Density = 46.83 g / 6.50 cm³ = 7.20 g/cm³

Trial 2:

Average Density = 46.332 g / 6.45 cm³ = 7.18 g/cm³

Trial 3:

Average Density = 47.0141 g / 6.44 cm³ = 7.30 g/cm³
