Set up a dropper with ink in it vertical at a height
say 20 cm above a horizontally placed sheet of
plain paper. Release one ink drop; observe the
pattern, if any, on the paper. Vary the vertical
distance and repeat. Discover any pattern of
relationship between the vertical height and the
ink drop observed.
You are provided (or you construct a model as
shown) three vertical sticks (size of a pencil)
stuck to a horizontal board. You should also
have discs of varying sizes with holes (like a
doughnut). Start with one disc; place it on (in)
stick A. Transfer it to another stick (B or C); this
is one move (m). Now try with two discs placed
in A such that the large disc is below, and the
smaller disc is above (number of discs = n=2
now). Now transfer them one at a time in B or C
to obtain similar situation (larger disc below).
How many moves? Try with more discs (n = 1,
2, 3, etc.) and generalise.
