Part C ( 17 marks)

Answer all questions.

1) A student carries out an experiment to investigate the relationship between the

mass,m of a steel ball and its diameter, d. A micrometer screw gauge is used to
measure the diameter of the steel balls.
Diagram 1.1 shows the zero error, X on the micrometer screw gauge.

[ 1 mark]
ii) The responding variable :

[ 1 mark]
iii) The constant variable

[ 1 mark]

(b) (i) Based on Diagram 1.1 on page 4, determine the zero error, X.

X= mm
( 1 mark)
ii) Based on diagram 1.2, 1.3, 1.4, 1.5 and 1.6, determine the diameter of the
steel ball, d. The actual diameter of the steel ball, D, is determined by using
the formula :

D = d-X

Where X is the zero error on the micrometer screw gauge.

Tabulate your data for all values on m,d, and D in space given.

[ 6 marks]

(c) On a graph paper, draw a graph of D against m.
[ 5 marks]
(d) Based on the graph in 1(c), state the relationship between D and m.

[ 1 mark]
(e) State one precaution that should be taken to improve accuracy of the result of this experiment
