Limits and Improvements:
Limits
01. Two readings not enough to make a conclusion.
02.Difficult to balance meter rule.
03.Rule hits bench
04.NOT SURE-Difficult to confirm if the rule is balanced

Improvements
01.Take more readings and plot a graph.
02.Use a wind-shield
03.Elevate apparatus
04NOT SURE- Use a set square
2.Difficult to balance due to what ? seems like air currents looking at your suugestions ..Mark schemes say that examiners will ignore this suggestion and improvement.
and i doubt your third suggestion as well ......

Here are the errors and improvements:
1.Two sets of reading not enough.imp:Takemore reading and plot a graph ..
2.The diameter of pipe was measured with metre rule precise to 0.1 cm only , Improvement:Vernier calipers could be used which is precise to 0.01 cm ..
3.Difficulty to hold the protractor tought while measuring angle. Improvment: project the expriment onto a screen and measure the angle Or Clamp the protractor .
4.The tube was in random movement (not upright) and touched the inner walls of the container.Improvement:Use a wider container .

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 ?
