...Performed: August 27, 2015 Date Submitted: September 3, 2015 EXPERIMENT #1—The Vernier and Micrometer Caliper ABSTRACT In this experiment, the group used a Vernier and micrometer caliper to measure lengths, widths, depths and diameters of various objects. The Vernier and micrometer calipers’ accuracy aided the group to find the volume and density of the objects—namely the steel metal cube, washer and marble. They also used the triple beam balance to weigh the objects. The group compared the density values they computed to the standard value, and also computed for their results’ percentage error. In the end, the group concluded that the micrometer caliper is easier to use, and somehow more error-proof compared to the Vernier caliper. 1. Differentiate the Vernier and micrometer scales. The Vernier scale has the accuracy of 0.05 mm and the capacity of 155 mm. It has a slider, and is usually used for measuring inside and outside diameter, length and width as well as depth. Meanwhile, the micrometer caliper has the accuracy of 0.01mm and has a 26mm capacity. It has a rotary handle and is usually used for measuring diameters and width. 2. Draw the figure for the micrometer readings below. a. 3.86 mm b. 1.59 mm 3. State some of the errors that one might make in measuring length using both the Vernier and micrometer calipers. Errors in using the Vernier caliper usually involves the decimal digits of the measurements such as the hundreths...

Mendones College of Engineering, Adamson University Abstract THIS LABORATORY REPORT PRESENTS THE ACCURACY OF MEASUREMENTS USING THE CALIPER. THE MAIN OBJECTIVE OF THIS LABORATORY ACTIVITY WAS TO BE ABLE FOR THE STUDENTS TO FAMILIARIZE ON HOW TO USE THE CALIPERS AS INSTRUMENTS FOR MEASURING PURPOSES. ANOTHER PURPOSE OF THIS EXPERIMENT IS TO RETAIN OR MINIMIZE THE PERCENTAGE ERROR AND PERCENTAGE DIFFERENCE OF THE PREVIOUS ACTIVITY TO SHOW THAT INSTRUMENTS USED FOR MEASURING ARE MORE ACCURATE. 1. INTRODUCTION The goal of physics is to provide an understanding of nature. The science of physics was developed to explain our physical environment. In no subject does measurement play as important a role as in science. Real science cannot exist without measurement. Calculating accuracy reveals how close a set of measurements are to an accepted reference or true value. This differs from precision, which describes how close the measurements are to each other. Determining the accuracy of a measurement usually requires calibration of the analytical method with a known standard. Accuracy in measuring is knowing the smallest reading that can be accurately measured while using an instrument or a device. The two common instruments used in measuring that increase the accuracy are the vernier caliper...

Date Submitted: March 29, 2016 CARAOS, Aeraille Diane M. CO, Marlene Fye A. Experiment No: 4 Resultant and Equilibrant Forces I. Abstract A force is any interaction that, when unopposed, will change the motion of an object. In other words, a force can cause an object with mass to change its velocity (which includes to begin moving from a state of rest), i.e., to accelerate. Force can also be described by intuitive concepts such as a push or a pull. A force has both magnitude and direction, making it a vector quantity. According to Newton, whenever objects A and B interact with each other, they exert forces upon each other. When you sit in your chair, your body exerts a downward force on the chair and the chair exerts an upward force on your body. There are two forces resulting from this interaction - a force on the chair and a force on your body. These two forces are called action and reaction forces and are the subject of Newton's third law of motion. Formally stated, Newton's third law is: For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. In this experiment, the students used a force table and mounted rings to serve as the object forces act on. They attached three strings around the ring and to each end of the strings designated a pulley with corresponding weight holders...

The hose from the truck then discharged and attach to the fueling part of aircraft. -A title block is normally drawn at the bottom of the paper. Inside the title block is important information such as Name, Title and Date. The measurements for the title block can be seen below (these can vary depending on the type of title block being used). -Distance represented by one turn of the thimble is 0.025 inch. The use of Vernier scale on micrometer is to permit measurements within 0.001 millimetre to be made on metric micrometers, or 0.0001 inches on inch-system micrometers. The additional digit of these micrometers is obtained by finding the line on the sleeve vernier scale which exactly coincides with one on the thimble. The number of this coinciding vernier line represents the additional digit. -spilled gasoline should never be swept with dry broom as static electricity may cause spark and ignite.

...Engineering Graphics & CAD Assignment Content Content | Page | Content | | Abstract | | Introduction | | Procedure | | Drawing | | Discussion | | Conclusion | | Reference | | Abstract This assignment is aimed to show how does a product looked like when it is dismantled and in this project, we are doing rice cooker. By dismantling the rice cooker, we are required to produce the sketches of any 12 parts of the rice cooker using multi-view and isometric techniques, and also 2D drawing using Auto-CAD. In other words, this project also helps us to be a step closer in becoming engineers by teaching us how to implement the engineering drawing techniques from sketching and then translating those sketches into the final product. In this project, 3 of us are required to produce drawings of 12 parts found in a rice cooker. We are also required to measure the parts using suitable apparatus in order to obtain the most accurate measurements possible. After getting the measurements of each dimension, we are required to sketch the parts in multi-view and isometric perspectives. We are, then, required to make 2D drawing of each part using Auto-CAD with its dimension. Introduction Rice cooker is an electric kitchen appliance that is used to boil or steam rice. The essential components that are in the rice cooker are the heating element, the aluminium inner bowl, the ceramic-based outer body, the cover, the switch, the fuse and the heat sensor.

...Experiment 7: Deflection of beams (Effect of beam length and width) 1. OBJECTIVE The objective of this laboratory experiment is to find the relationship between the deflection (y) at the centre of a simply supported beam and the span, width. 2. MATERIALS - APPARATUS Steel Beams, Deflection measuring device, 500g weight 3. INTRODUCTORY INFORMATION The deflection of a beam, y, will depend on many factors such as: - • The applied load F (F=m•g). • The span L. • The width of the beam b, and its thickness h. Other factors such as position, method of loading, the material of which the beam is made will also influence the deflection. If we wish to find the relationship between y and one of the possible variables it is necessary to keep all the other possible variables constant throughout the experiment. 1. Length calculation In this experiment the same beam is used throughout and the centrally applied point load is kept constant. Thus keeping all possible variables other than the deflection y and the span L constant we may investigate the relationship between y and L. Let y[pic]Ln where n is to be found Then y = k•Ln where k is a constant Taking logarithms: log y = n log L + log k which is in the straight line form (y = mx + C). Thus plotting logy against log L will give a straight-line graph of slope “n” and “k” may be determined. 2. Width calculation In this experiment beams of the same material but of different width are...

...EXPERIMENT 1 UNCERTAINTY AND ERROR ANALYSIS INTRODUCTION Physics is a field of Science, which is quantitative in nature. The purpose of doing experiments in Physics is mainly to collect and analyze the data. In all measurements, there is always some uncertainty associated with the values. The uncertainty may be because of systematic errors or random errors or both. The errors in a particular experiment may be due to the observer, or to the instrument used, or to a combination of both. They may also be present by the very nature of the experiment; for example, the heat lost by cooling in a heat experiment causes an error, for example by making a cooling correction, or by repeating the experiment and subtracting to eliminate the heat lost. All students doing experiments MUST record the errors and uncertainties in their measurements whenever errors and uncertainties are present in the experiments. Students must take errors and uncertainties into account when calculating and presenting the final results in their laboratory reports. 1. INTRODUCTION TO UNCERTAINTY AND ERRORS Often the words uncertainty and error are used interchangeably, but it is worthwhile to be a little more precise about what the two words mean in the context of measurement. When we perform a measurement, we are trying to determine the “true” value of the quantity of interest, but the result we obtain will differ from the “true” value by some amount. This difference between...

...OPERATION OF MASS BALANCE Typically checks involve verifying that the static weight condition of component balances within a specified range. If the control surface has either too much weight ahead of or behind the hinge line, the control surface may flutter during flight. In extreme cases, flutter causes oscillations that progressively increase in amplitude, which ultimately can cause the pilot to lose control of the aircraft or could cause a catastrophic structural failure. The balance check is done with the control surface remove from the aircraft and assembled as specified in the manufacturer’s instructions. Generally all the mounting hardware and components contained within the control surface should be installed in their relative positions. Once assembled, the control surface is placed on balancing madrels within a draft-free room. The mandrels are positioned under the hinge points in a way that allows the control surface to pivot freely without dragging or binding. A balance beam or jig is then installed to determine the moment arm required to balance the control surface. The beam consists a graduated measuring scale in which weight can be moved to bring the control surface to horizontally level position or other position specified by the manufacturer. Once in the proper position, the distance that the weight is located ahead of or behind the hinge line is recorded and checked against the manufacturer’s specification. If the moment arm exceeds the manufacturer’s specification...
