hey could you please help me out with this......or anyone please...ok so there was the usual balancing a rule experiment Now there was this question where the mass of an unknown load was to be found by placing it on the 90cm mark of a rule (which is pivoted at its 50cm mark) by placing known masses on the other side of the pivot until the rule gets balanced.Then they take measurements from the pivot to the centre of the mass. so there was a part of the question asking what could be a practical difficulty in this experiment. I answered that measuring the distance from the centre of the known mass to the pivot will be difficult since the mass covers the markings on the ruler..so we dont know exactly where its centre of mass is lying.....I know that the load might slip is the most obvious answer but please tell me that whether what i wrote is correct or not.......

Well, does anybody know how to take a proper scale for graph.........and what is the meaning of half(1/2) square in the graph......or any tips related to graph......

Assalamu Alaykum , Here's some notes for you :)
-You have to record the time taken for one complete oscillation by taking the time for more than one complete oscillation and divide it by their number , and this to reduce error and get more accurate value .
- check if the meter rule in an experiment is vertical by a set square .
- If something directly proportional it should have constant gradient , straight line and begins from the origin .
-To avoid parallax error , your eye should be perpendicular to the reading.
- As the temperature difference between water and room temperature increases , the drop in temperature also increases and vice versa .
-Distance measured between the object and the lens , and between the screen and the lens , must be taken from the center of the lens .
-you need to know the relation between the diameter and the resistance and the area and the resistance of the wire , For example , if diameter increased by 2 times , the resistance will be decreased 4 times , and if the area increased by 2 times , the resistance will be decreased two times .
- Centre of mass
Centre of mass is an imaginary point in a body (object) where the total mass of the
body canbe thought to be concentrated to make calculations easier
To find the centre of gravity on a flat object, use the following steps:
1. Get a flat object.
2. Get a stand and a plumb line (a string with a weight on it).
3. Punch 3 holes in your object.
4. Hang your object from the hole, and attach the plumb line to the same hole.
Draw a vertical line where the plumb line is.
5. Repeat step 4 for all the other holes. Where the lines meet is the centre of gravity.
(FIY the string should be able to swing freely, so should not touch the paper)
For stability the centre of mass must be over the centre of pressure.

DON'T FORGET THE UNITS ! .. It will cost you marks that u are in desperate need for it .

Heey
I know this is quite simple but when the questions usually ask abt length and height, wen I try measuring it by a ruler I dont come with the right answer as in mark scheme.. why? And how shall I do it? :/
Ps I'm private aka homestudies :)

That is completely alright happens to .....almost everyone......in the exam you will be getting an original paper and your readings will be more accurate there...so don't worry.
