A measurement of density (mass/volume) is performed by measuring the mass of a sample of a rough cubic piece of metal on a balan

ce and then measuring the volume using a metric ruler. Completely explain three possible errors that can occur in the determination of the density of the metal.

Answer:

Random errorrs

1) Variations in the level of the eye when we measure the dimensions of the cubic piece using the metric rule.

2) Possible vibrations or disbalance when we measure the mass of the of the cylinder.

Systematic errors

3) Wrong calibration for the balance and that represent a measurement wrong

Explanation:

Previous concepts

Random error represent an statistical error associated to the effect random in the experiment.

Systematic error is a "repeatable error associated with faulty equipment or a flawed experiment design", so is an error non controlled.

Solution to the problem

So as we can see we have two possible types of errors : random and systematic errors. For this stuation the list of 3 errors required are:

Random errors

1) Variations in the level of the eye when we measure the dimensions of the cubic piece using the metric rule.

2) Possible vibrations or disbalance when we measure the mass of the of the cylinder.

Systematic errors

3) Wrong calibration for the balance and that represent a measurement wrong
