OBJECTIVE
THEORY
1. Base quantities are the quantities that cannot be defined in terms of the other quantities.
2. Derived quantities are physical quantities derived from base quantities through
3. Zero Error is any indication that a measuring system gives a false reading when the true
component.
HYPOTHESIS
3. Electronic balance is more accurate than beam balance because it measure mass of object
4. Caliper is more accurate than the ruler by approximately ten percent of analytical error

ANALYSIS
In experiment 1a, the density of the wooden block using when using ruler is 700.46 kg/m3 while
density of the wooden block when using Vernier Caliper is 681.06 kg/m3 . In experiment 1b the
volume of 20 sent in mm3 is 844.49mm3 and m3 is 844.49x 10-9. When we write down the result
of measurement ,we only write it to the number of figures that the smallest division of the
instrument shows , so the sensitivity of the instrument termed the significant figures of the value.
QUESTION
a. Avoid the parallax error by placing the eye such that the line of view is perpendicular to
2.From the experiment 1(a), is there any difference between using ruler and Vernier Caliper?
Yes. Because Vanier Caliper is enables to detect a very accurate readings than ruler. Vernier
Scale is the precise measuring device which can be used to measure length including outside
dimensions, inside dimensions and depth with only a small margin on error. While Meter ruler is
the most simple tool to measure objects with medium length. A metre rule can therefore measure
length accurately up to 0.1 cm only meanwhile Vernier Callipers can measure length with an
Consistency is the state of being consistence and the thickness or viscosity of a substance.
CONCLUSION
From the experiments, we have found that the experiments about the physical quantities and
measurement was successful done according to the procedures. The objective of experiments
was achieved to obtain derived quantities from base quantities. From the result, we have found
that the Vernier Caliper readings are more accurate than the ruler. As the conclusion, the
