A student wants to determine the density of a small solid sphere as accurately as possible using a balance and a vernier calipers. Which steps are appropriate?

Select all that apply

• Option A

  Apply zero correction to the diameter readings.

• Option B

  Measure the diameter in several orientations and use the mean corrected diameter.

• Option C

  Use V = πd³/6 for the sphere volume.

• Option D

  Use only the largest measured diameter to compensate for instrumental error.
