RESULT AND DATA ANALYSIS

Measurement 1

= / ( )

= Sum of area above and below the centre line

L = Sample length (graph)
Mv = Vertical Magnification

L = 10cm
Mv = 1800
Theoretical value, Ra = 3.34

Area under the graph (2 )

A1 0.00048
A2 0.00045
A3 0.00046
A4 0.00045
A5 0.00050

= (0.00048 + 0.00045 + 0.00046 + 0.00045 + 0.00050) / (5)

= 0.000468 m

= / ( )

CLA = / (L x Mv )

= (0.000468) / ( 0.075 x 1800 )

= 3.467

Percentage of error = Theoretical value Experimental Value X 100

Measurement 2

Area (2 )

Area 1 22.4 26.4 18.7

Area 2 22.4 26.2 18.8
Area 3 22.5 26.0 18.3
Area 4 22.6 26.2 18.6
Area 5 22.1 26.1 18.4
Average area 22.4 26.18 18.56

Sample calculation: Average area = /5

= (22.4 + 22.4 + 22.5 + 22.6 + 22.1) / (5)

= 22.4 2
