Figured it out. Turns out, our Graphical Analysis program doesn't like it when you enter scientific notion in the wrong way and does weird things. On a sideish note, we checked all of the volume and buoyant force values to make sure there weren't any outliers. Since \rhog = ΔF/V (ΔF is the...

We measured the diameters. I don't think you divided them by two in order to get the radius. In the example you used, .01909^2 should have been (0.01909/2)^2, or (0.009545)^2. Does that cause you to get the same volumes?

1. In this experiment, which we did in lab, we measured the diameter and length of 4 metal cylinders of different densities. These cylinders were hung on a string and the force in Newtons was measured. Then the cylinder was submerged in water and the force was once again taken. These values were...
