1. Your provided with unknown mass “m”, a knife edge, 50 g mass, 100 g mass, and a metre
rule. Your required to perform experiment through the following procedure:

(a) Find and mark the centre of gravity C of the metre rule AB by balancing it freely on a
knife edge.

(b) Place a metre rule on a knife edge at its centre of gravity C.

(c) Suspend the 100 g mass at point x=10 cm from the centre of gravity of a metre rule.
Suspend 50 g mass at distance a =5 cm from C on the other side of C.

(d) Suspend the mass m to the side of 50 g mass and adjust it until the metre rule balances
horizontally as shown in the following Figure.

(e) Repeat the procedure in 1 (d) when x =15 cm, 25 cm and 30 cm. Find the
corresponding value of y (cm) in each experiment.
The candidates were then required to answer the following questions

(i) Tabulate the results of x (cm) and y (cm).


(ii) Plot a graph of x (cm) against y (cm).
(iii) Calculate the slope of the graph.
(iv) Formulate the equation of the graph.
(v) Determine the unknown mass m.

2. You are provided with the two plane mirror, soft board, optical pins, 4 drawing pins,an
optical board, protector, ruler, plain paper.
(a) By using drawing pins fix a plain paper on an a optical board
(b) Draw two lines which are at right angle to each other on a plain paper
(c) Place the two mirrors along the lines
(d) Stick a pin in front of mirror an shown in figure below

(e) By using your eyes observe and count the number of images formed on two
plane mirror
(f) Decrease the angle by closing the mirrors gradually onto each other such that
theangle between is 72, 60, 45, 45, 30 and 0
(g) Record your results in table by indicating the angle (𝜃), number of image formed
1 1
(n), n+1 , and ,
𝜃 2𝜃
1
(h) Plot the graph of n+1 against
2𝜃
