The student starts the experiment by immersing a 0.5 N of slotted weight, W4531/
o
into a beaker of water as shown in Diagram 10.2. The reading of the 3
compression balance, m is recorded. The student also calculate the value of
W w using W w = mg.
The experiment is repeated with different weight of slotted weight, W o = 1.0 N,
1.5 N, 2.0 N and 2.5 N. The corresponding readings for the compression
balance are shown in Diagram 10.3, 10.4, 10.5 and 10.6 on pages 17 and 18.
