    Archimedes’ Principle method instead of submerging the object? If the object was dropped into the beaker‚ then the measurements would not be correct. F. How did the magnet’s density measurement using the Archimedes’ Principle compare to the density measurement using the calculated volume? Which method might be more accurate? Why? The calculated volume measurement is more accurate because Archimedes’ Principle might have a higher percentage of error.

    The Purpose of Work Measurement Method study is the principal technique for reducing the work involved‚ primarily by eliminating unnecessary movement on the part of material or operatives and by substituting good methods for poor ones. Work measurement is concerned with investigating‚ reducing and subsequently eliminating ineffective time‚ that is time during which no effective work is being performed‚ whatever the cause. Work measurement‚ as the name suggests‚ provides management with a means
