List of experiments
Section A
Experiments
1. To measure diameter of a small spherical/cylindrical body and
to measure internal diameter and depth of a given
beaker/calorimeter using Vernier Callipers and hence find its
volume.
2. To measure diameter of a given wire and thickness of a given
sheet using screw gauge.
3. To determine volume of an irregular lamina using screw
gauge.
4. To determine radius of curvature of a given spherical surface
by a spherometer.
Activities
1. To make a paper scale of given least count, e.g., 0.2cm, 0.5
cm.
2. To determine mass of a given body using a metre scale by
principle of moments.
3. To plot a graph for a given set of data, with proper choice of
scales and error bars.
4. To study dissipation of energy of a simple pendulum by
plotting a graph between square of amplitude and time.
SECTION–B
Experiments
1. To find the force constant of a helical spring by plotting a
graph between load and extension.
2. To study the relationship between the temperature of a hot
body and time by plotting a cooling curve.
3. To study the relation between frequency and length of a given
wire under constant tension using sonometer.
4. To find the speed of sound in air at room temperature using a
resonance tube by two resonance positions.
Activities
1. To observe change of state and plot a cooling curve for molten
wax.
2. To observe and explain the effect of heating on a bi-metallic
strip.
4. To study the effect of detergent on surface tension of water by
observing capillary rise.
6. To study the effect of load on depression of a suitably clamped
metre scale loaded at (i) its end (ii) in the middle.
