    The second experiment involves setting up a circuit with a dry cell, resistance box, ammeter, and wires. Students will take current readings at different resistances and record data in a table. They will then plot a graph and determine the slope and intercept to calculate the internal resistance and emf of the dry cell.

    The aim of this experiment is to determine the density of a metre rule.

    Proceed as follows:

    (a) Locate the centre of gravity C of the metre rule AB by balancing freely at the knife
    edge.
    (b) Suspend I100 g mass on the ruler with distance d = 10 cm from C, adjust the position
    of the knife edge to get a balance, as shown in the following figure:

    y -X-
    A B
    C

    100 gm
    Table

    (c) Record the distance y from the centre of gravity to a knife edge and distance x from
    knife edge to the known mass of 100 g.

    (d) Repeat the procedures in 1 (b) and (c) by increasing the distance of 100 g to d = 15
    cm, 20 cm, 25 cm and 30 cm.

    Questions
    ) Tabulate your results in a suitable table showing the values of d, x and y.

    (ii) Plot a graph of y (cm) against x (cm).

    (ii) Determine the slope of the graph.

    iv) Describe how the slope obtained from the graph is related to the mass of the metre rule
    provided and hence determine the mass of a ruler.

    (V) Measure and record the length, width and the thickness of the metre rule provided.

    (vi) Determine the density of a metre rule.


    (25 marks)

    You are provided with a dry cell, resistance box, switch, an anmmeter and a set of connecting
    Wires.
