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!

question if they have given us a metre rule and if we take readings in cm then we take LC as 0.1 right !?!

otherwise if reading is in metres only then we take LC as 1!
LC of time(stopwatch ) is 2-8
LC of moving objects lenght is 0.2 - 0.8
LC of screwgauge and vernier is given on the instrument!

plz help me out in LCs!!
thankyou
