Used the following method to approximate the speed of the wind. Thoughts?

Position the fan behind a smooth stainless steel surface and place a light object on the surface at a starting position. Use a stopwatch to measure the time taken for it to travel a fixed distance from the starting position. Use v=d/t to estimate speed.

Since all we were doing was proving that k is constant for different values of v^2 and tan(Q), i think an approximate should do..
But as i was typing this post, i just realized a light object can fly away >:p

A friend used a CRO. Hows that?

Lol guys u didnt had to think so much on how to measure wind speed.. i just wrote that we'll use an electronic fan (just like the electronic balance) that has a digital reading showing u the fan speed!

i drew a table fan...connected to a signal generator and a variable resistor.....
in additional detail s i wrote to find diameter with help of meter rule>3 different place and find average and find the radius then use the formula w=2(pi)f and rw to find the speed of the fan.....do it in non windy environment so the speed of the fan will be the speed of the wind......is this rite way???......i tink i m screwed

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?????
