Using a verner Caliper. Measure the diameter and circumference of the brass weight. Using the averag values of the diameter (d) and circumference (c), compute the value of pi in both scales using the equation: pi = c/d
using a micrometer. take the reading and record as diameter of the steel ball. V= 4/3 pi R^3
where R is the radius of the steel ball and R =diameter/2

the value of pi is always the same because the ratio between circumference and diameter will remain constant

No. The value for pi is always the same. It is the relationship between the radius of a circle and the circumference of the circle. All circles have the same ratio because they are all the same geometric shape.

pi = c/d, as you have stated, there is no weight terms, so why would the value of pi change?
