Hey guys theres a lot of confusion in the forums related to the practical P33... Please would someone give authentic information about what is actually coming tomorrow. I think the order doesn't matter as we should know all the errors related to any experiment. They are quite easy to learn and similar in many cases.

limitations and suggestions for moments:

-two readings not enough to draw conclusion
-difficult to balance WITH REASON (eg.g. unstable becoz of afans/draughts)
-difficult to judge when wooden strip horizontal/parallel(to bench)
-difficult of keeping x constant/weights move
-difficult to measure angle BECAUSE hard to judge vertical/movement of hand
-friction betwwn nail and strip
-mass (values) not accurate

suggestions
-take more readings AND plot a graph AND compare k values
-switch off fans/close windows
-METHOD of ensuring strip horizontal/parallel to bench (e.g. DETAILED use of set square)
-METHOD of fixing constant to rule(e.g. tape, glue)
-use clamped ruler/clamped protractor
-use lubricant/method of reducing friction
-use balance/method of weighing masses

these are a few for moments from past papers.. hope this helps!
