2 Tampines Meridian Junior College 2024 JC2 Preliminary Examination H2 Physics 1 In this experiment, you will investigate how the frictional force between a plastic pipe and string varies with the length of string in contact with the pipe. (a) Use the vernier calliper to measure and record the outer diameter d of the plastic pipe. d = ……………………………cm [1] (b) Estimate the percentage uncertainty in your value of d. percentage uncertainty in d = ……………………………… [1] (c) Assemble the apparatus as shown in Fig. 1.1. Tie the 20 g mass to the one end of the string and the 50 g mass hanger to the other end. Fig. 1.1 Wrap the string 1.5 times around the pipe. The turns of string must not touch each other. (d) Use your values from (a) to calculate the length l of string in contact with the pipe. l = ……………………………… [1] 20 g mass string plastic pipe

Record this mass m (including the mass of the hanger). m = ……………………………… [1] (f) Remove the masses from the hanger and then wrap the string one more time around the pipe, so that it is now wrapped around the pipe 2.5 times. Repeat steps (d) and (e). l = ……………………………… m = ……………………………… [2] (g) It is suggested that m and l are related by the equation m2 = k l3 where k is a constant.
