Name of sch: Raffles Junior College
Subject of SPA: Physics
Month of attempt: April
Skill: B only
No. of attempt: 1/3
Topic on: Newtonian Mechanics
SET-UP:
you're provided with 2 metal rods, 2 metre rules, 2 retord stands,
1 piece of thread (at least 10cm) and weights ranging from 50 - 550
g.
clip the 2 metal rods onto the clamps of the retord and suspend the
ruler onto the 2 metal rods horizontally at 5.0 cm mark and 95.0 cm
mark.
at the 50.0 cm mark tie a loop and hang a hanger onto it.
then put weights on in, be mindful of 6 readings.
then take the height of the bottom of the ruler to the bench
(labelled depression) for the respective weights
remember to tape the loop at 50.0 cm if you're using a whole big
loop (those who choose to tie 2 small loops can dun use tape)
enjoy!
TABLE:
remember to include weigh, 2 seperate columns for loading and
unloading and initial height and depression. then it will be the
log of both datas
SHAPE OF GRAPH:
straight line
OTHER VALUES/MEASUREMENTS WE MUST FIND:
nothing else in this experiment
PRECAUTIONS FOR MARKING SCHEME:
make sure the set-up is steady. always check that the horizontal
rule is really horizontal using a spirit level..
