Description

VII. Conclusion The graph displays a linear relationship between circumference and diameter. The best-fit line of our graph has a slope of 3.16, which is approximately 0.06% off of the accepted true value of pi, 3.14. This brings our calculated value (3.16 ± 0.14) in agreement with the true value, as 3.14 falls within our margin of uncertainty. Although we didn't force the best fit line to pass through the zero intercept it did provide the best fit using the zero intercept. The results of our data was calculated in two ways; by using the average of C and finding the slope when graphed. Even though the differences between our experimental value versus the accepted value of pi were slightest, there were possibly a few causes of error that may have led to these differences. There may have been some error in our circumference measurements since the elasticity in the string was being wrapped around our circular objects. The stretchy string would've resulted in a slightly smaller value for our circumference measurement compared to the actual value. Since our best-fit line from the graph was drawn by our personal judgement, this could've been more vertical/steeper than the true best-fit line. This lab experiment was successful because the value of pi calculated was close to the true value of pi, but also our calculated value for pi was within the uncertainty limits calculated. To improve the results for next time more accurate and repeatable measurement methods are recommended....
