Data Table Edited

This document contains data tables for 7 physics experiments measuring various physical properties. The tables include measurements of dimensions, volumes, masses, densities, times, currents, potentials, resistances, and focal lengths. Measurements were taken in triplicate and averages were calculated along with percent errors. The experiments aimed to determine physical properties like dimensions, densities, acceleration due to gravity, coefficients of friction, buoyant forces, and relationships defined by Ohm's Law and the focal length of lenses.
