I wrote that Y will have a negative displacement, before returning to equilibrium. Why is Y's displacement positive instead?
wouldn't you just use a material with greater mass, ,but lower volume, i.e giving a greater measurement for density.
% uncertainty = uncertainty/measurement * 100
so if the measurement is greater, won't the % uncertainty be less
Homework Statement
How would you reduce uncertainty when measuring the density of a material
Homework EquationsThe Attempt at a Solution
I'm guessing you have to reduce the uncertainty in the mass and volume of the material

Say if I had a system with 3 springs on the left, 1 spring in the middle, and another 3 springs on the right. I add masses to the central spring and calculate the extension. After all my measurements, I plot a graph of spring against mass. If I then repeat the experiment...
