EXPERIMENT 1:- Simple Pendulum (MM)

EXPERIMENT 2:- GALILEO’S Inclined Plane (MM)

Q6 Assuming g to be 9.81ms-2 determine the value for the constant frictional force acting along
the plane.
EXPERIMENT 3:- Static Equilibrium (AI)
 EXPERIMENT 4:- Projectile motion (ORR)

The object of this experiment is to verify that the time of flight of a projectile is independent of initial
horizontal velocity.
THEORY:
The parabolic path of a projectile may be analyzed in two parts each using the general equations of
motion.
Horizontally: x = ux t
Vertically y = ½gt2 uy = 0 for horizontal projection

Given that the vertical height from which the object is projected is constant, the time of flight of the
projectile should be independent of the initial horizontal velocity.

ux may be calculated from the energy changes that take place when the object falls along the chute.

Plot a suitable graph to verify the relationship.

A hammer is often used to force a nail into wood. The faster the hammer moves, the deeper
the nail moves into the wood.
This can be represented in a laboratory by a mass falling vertically onto a nail.
It is suggested that the depth d of the nail in the wood (see Fig. 1.1) is related to the
velocity v of the mass at the instant it hits the nail by the equation
d = kv
n
where k and n are constants.

Design a laboratory experiment to investigate the relationship between v and d so as to
determine a value for n. You should draw a diagram showing the arrangement of your
equipment. In your account you should pay particular attention to
(a) the procedure to be followed,
(b) the measurements to be taken,
(c) the control of variables,
(d) the analysis of the data,
(e) the safety precautions to be taken.
