Beam_Balance

Beam Balance BEAM BALANCE Aim: To calculate the density of a regular shaped object using a beam balance. Apparatus: Physical beam balance, vernier calliper, weight box & a given object, Theory: Density is important and characteristic property of matter. Density is the measure of the compactness of a body. After making independent measurements of mass and volume, Density is calculated by the mass per unit volume of a substance. Density = Mass Volume Where Volume = l x b x h l = length of the block b = breadth of the block h = height of the block Procedure: To find the dimensions, l, b, h, of the object; we use a vernier calliper. Record zero error, if any.
