ok ppl i did a big mistake of error bars...
i plotted it on the y-axis which was for 'f' instead of ploting it on the x-axis which was was for 1/L....so my whole answers will be wrong related to errors...will they give me marks for error carried forword?????
They will give you e.c.f but u might lose more than 2 points for that error :(

I used a blower for varying the wind speed but had no f**king idea how to calculate wind speed so i used d/t formula lol!
And i used a Iron nail to connect the rope to the table hence i got a safety precaution out of it tht was use of hammer can hurt bla bla bla so first gently hammer nail and after it is into the table a little remove ur hand of the nail and hammer forcefully
Also stated that use ear defenders in case balloon bursts!
I measured angle thru a protector as the trignometric method of lengths in my view had greater % uncertainity as u had to calculate 2 lengths and hence uncertainities add up!
Q2 answrs of mine were uncertainities of table
0.02 to 0.05 , gradient 139 +- 10
- u= 3.2 0r something x 10^-4 and uncertainity was 24%
radiu ws 1.12 x 10^-4 and uncertainity was 8%!!

this is how exactly i drew...dont know how far iam correct?
i changed 'd' value to change 'v' v=d/t...then converted to v^2....
for each v^2 ,,, i measured angle tan...


I drew the same but i used a nail nd fan on the left side instead of the right as it was specified in the paper!! :/ cuz if u draw like that in the pic tanQ would not be inversley propotional to the v^2

I placed the fan on opposite position as it was in the given diagram...

Urgh! damn, i forgot to find the units for it! SHIT SHIT SHIT! ****, it was so easy! URRRGHH!
I'm losing a mark there
and another coz i forgot to mention the gradient will be negative and won't pass through the origin.

Maybe a few here and there, hoping for atleast 25-26/30

u hav positioned the fan wrong....
with this arrangement ur result will come proportional bt they want inverse....

Which graph did u draw in analysis part????
Tan Q was inversely propositional to v^2 so we had to draw a graph of tanQ against 1/v^2 nd it was passing thru origin with positive gradients as for direct proportional graph*????? Negative gradient nd not passing thru origin????:S:S:S:S

i wrote that graph of tan O against 1/v2 is plotted and if the line is straight with origin as one point thn relationship is confirmed..

The gradient was positive, and in Q1, it WAS passing through the origin.
