A right circular cylinder is measured to have a mass of 1178.0 +/- 0.1 g, a diameter of 2.50 +/- 0.01 cm and a height of 30.48 +/- 0.01 cm.
a. Look up the volume equation for a right circular cylinder. Remember that a radius is 1/2 the diameter.
b. The density is mass divided by volume. Find the density using significant figures rules.
c. Find the density with error bars using the max/min method.
d. Using a table of densities, find the material assuming it is a common, pure metallic element.
