Analysis of results

2. Plot a graph with value h as ordinates against the corresponding values of 1/l as abscissa. (The axes need not start from the origin.) [8]

3. From the graph, determine the value of atmospheric pressure a in cm-water. (Extrapolate your graph using equation.) [4]

4. The density of water is 1000 kg/m3. Determine atmospheric pressure in Pascal. [4]

Conclusion
5. By referring to the objective of this experiment, state your results for this experiment. [4]
