but how? how are the strengths and weight related?
as in the weight will increase if it attracts iron bar ? is that so?
We're using newton bar so that when we pull EM apart ( magnet and steel bar ) how much force is needed to separate em both. We'll repeat the same process with another magnet and jot down the force it used to separate itself from iron bar. We'll compare both the forces and the one with larger force would be a stronger magnet.

You just need to measure the volume so take a measuring cylinder with a spout, fill with water not fully to allow for displacement. Place another measuring cylin. at the bottom of spout. Immerse the stopper, measure the amount of water displaced. Read the vloume on the 2nd cylinder. This is the vloume of stopper. In next part, you may write, place the stopper gently to avoid splashing.

p

put some water in displacemnet can just below its spout.place a measuring cylindaer below the spout .carefully place the stopper in the displacement can.some amount of water falls into the cylinder.measure hat amount.that will be its volume
Thanks :D

It's same like measuring the volume of a rock or any other object right? We've to use V=V2 - V1, right?

I still didn't get the answer to my question that one division on main scale and vernier scale equals to what? :/
The main scale gives readings in cm. It has a precision of .1 cm or 1 mm. The number of markings on the vernier after which 2 points coincide are added as 0.1 mm. For example the main scale may read 3.1cm and the points of the vernier and main scale coincide after 4 markings so the answer is 31 mm + 0.4 mm = 31.4 mm

Why does the reflection of sound changes its magnitude but not wavelength ?
Sound is caused by vibration which is due to energy, so reflection causes energy loss, hence magnitude of sound decreases. But the speed of sound remains the same as long as the media are same, also frequency is determined by the source, so when these two are unaffceted, wavelnegth does not change.

'initially choose the highest range for the ammeter/voltmeter, then reduce the range for the ammeter so that the deflection is almost full scale'
Explain please. What's full scale deflection?

Can somebody explain how to use set squares to avoid parallax error when taking measurements from a ruler?

Suppose you're measuring a potential difference of 4V. You start with a voltmeter that can read up to 20v. The needle only moves a little since the magnitude is small compared to the range of the voltmeter. Then you use a 5V voltmeter to measure the same pd, so that the needle almost fully moves to the right. The smaller range gives a more accurate reading.
