describe one experiment to investigate the hypothesis stated above.
OPERATIONAL DEFINITION
PRESSURE IN LIQUID:
Different height in manometer
VARIABLES MV : density
RV : different height in manometer
CV : depth of liquid
From the diagram above, state the procedure of the experiment which is the method of controlling
the manipulated variable , method of measuring the responding variable and repeat the experiment.
At least 2 statement
• Method how to control MV in this experiment
• Initial value must be stated
• Measuring instrument need to be stated
MV
1. Set up the apparatus as shown on the diagram above.
PROCEDURE
2. The thistle funnel is lowered into the salt water with density 0.5 gcm-3 at
a depth 5.0 cm.
At least 2 statement
• Describe on how to measure RV
• Measuring instrument need to be stated
RV • State the formula if necessary
Repeat 4. The experiment is repeated by lowered the thistle funnel at different density
which are 1.0 gcm-3, 1.5 gcm-3, 2.0 gcm-3 and 2.5 gcm-3.

Transverse wave A wave in which the particles of the medium oscillate in the
direction perpendicular to the direction in which the wave
moves
(eg: water, light, all EM waves)
Longitudinal wave A wave in which the particles of the medium oscillate in the
direction parallel to the direction in which the wave moves
(eg: sound)
Wavefront An imaginary line that joins all identical points on a wave
One complete The to-and-fro motion of an object / particle from one
oscillation particular point
Amplitude, a The maximum displacement from the mean position of a
(SI unit : m) wave
