QUESTIONS

QUESTION 1

You are provided with the following:

  • Lump of plasticine
  • 50g mass
  • Stand, boss and clamp
  • 3 pieces of threads
  • Meter rule
  • Measuring cylinder 
  • Some water in a beaker
  1. Put 50ml of water in a measuring cylinder. 
    Mould the plasticine into a shape that can fit into the measuring cylinder without touching it’s walls and tie it with the thread and completely immerse it in water in the measuring cylinder to determine it’s volume, V.
    V=……………………cm3
    V=……………………m3
  2. Given that upthrust, U experience by the plasticine in water is U=vρg
    Where: v – volume of the 20g mass
    ρ- density of water (1g/cm3)
    g – acceleration due to gravity
    Determine upthrust U on the of plasticine
  3. Tie the meter rule with the thread at the center (50cm mark) and suspend it on the stand as shown on the figure below.
  4. Tie 50g mass with the thread and suspend it on the meter rule at a distance d1 = 10cm from    the center as shown on the figure.
  5. Suspend the plasticine on the meter rule and then adjust distance d2 of the plasticine such that the system balances horizontally as shown in the set up below.

  6. Using the principle of moment determine the weight, W of the plasticine when the system is balancing horizontally. (3 marks)
  7. Immerse the suspended plasticine in the water in the measuring cylinder and adjust distance  d3 of the plasticine such that the system balances horizontally as shown below
    2
  8. Record the value of d3 
  9. Given R = d3/d3-d2 determine the value of R
