Centre of gravity C G = 50.0cm
Tabulate
Y(cm). |10|15|20|25|30|
K(cm). |31.2|33.5|36.0|38.2|40.6|
X(cm). |21.2|18.5|16.0|13.2|10.6|
K¹(cm). |27.0|29.7|33.0|35.5|38.4|
X¹(cm). |17.0|14.7|13.0|10.5|8.4|
(1x)
Slope = increase in y-axis /increase in x-axis
From the graph,
Slope = (35-10)cm/(16-6)cm
Slope (s) = 35/10=2.5
(1xi)
K =M1-Sm/S-1
M1= 100g , Sm =50m , S =2.5
K = 100-50/2.5-1 = 50/1.5
= 500/15=100/3
= 33.3g/cm
Use any one

(i)i avoided drought by closing the window
(ii)i avoided error due to parallax when reading the meter rule
(1bi)

Let the mass of beam = m
Taking moment about point C 5cm clockwise = sum of anitclockwise i;e moment
; 50*0.5=mx0.2
m=50*0.5/02=250/2=125g
Mass of the beam = 125g

Slope = ΔL/Δx = 66-12/7-4 = 54/3=18cm/Ω
Intercept ,c (couldn’t be shown on graph)

Evaluating K =4.9 10^-7 S
K =4.9 × 10^-7 × 18
K=8.82 × 10^-6cm/Ω
(3xi)
– I ensured tight connections
– I avoided error due to parallax on the ammeter
(3bi)
– Keep the top or terminals clean
– Do not tighten or removed cables while charging or discharging
(3bii) Using ohms law, R = V/I=3.5/0.25
=14Ω
