Diagram 6 shows the set up of apparatus of an experiment to compare hardness of copper and brass. The
steps of carrying out the experiment are as follows.

1.A steel ball-bearing is taped onto a copper of

block .
2. A 1-kg weight is hung at a height of 50 cm
above the copper block
.
3. The weight is allowed to drop onto the ball
bearing.

4.The diameter of the dent produced by the ball

bearing on the copper block is measured.
5. Steps 1 to 4 are repeated on other parts of the
copper block to obtain an average value for the
diameter of dents.
