We were given a weird type of protactor and we have to measure angle, I looked it closely and realised that it can record upto 0.5 degree

I wrote upto 0.5 degree, for eg
25.5 degree
What did you guys wrote ?
Same case here too i dont think we will lose marks though in fact percentage uncertainty reduces

I did the oscillations mistake too but CIE will give marks for method since they cannot just cut the answers where we took the value of T in further questions. If the question is of 2 marks we might get 1 mark for doing half the step correct.

I donot know, but all i know that the 2 marks are divided, one for showing repeated evidence and the other for value of T

Did no one write
Limitation:difficulty in measuring distance between bottom of tube and bottom of container due to refraction
Improvement: Use a coloured liquid to make it more visible
