Aim
- To measure the dimensions of a number of bottles.
- To measure the volume of a number of bottles.
Experiment Setup
The standard procedures were used to measure the dimensions
and volume of 8 common bottles. Three different circumferences
were measured. The top circumference is measured along the
widest part of the bottle above the mid section. The middle
circumference is measured along the cylindrical mid section. The
bottom circumference is measured along the widest part of the
bottle below the mid section.
