Vernier caliper Basic reading 3 types of reading iJexternal caliper = to measure external diameter internal caliper = to measure internal diameter i)depth probe = to measure depth 2. Micrometer screw gauge 3. Pendulum oscillation CHAPTER 2 | 7. Forces in equilibrium i) Newton First Law ) Zero acceleration i) Zero resultant force 2. force is directly proportional to mass 3. Hooke's law Factors affecting spring constant CHAPTER 3 | 1. Pascal principle for a hydraulic system i) Relationship between force, surface area and distance traveled by the piston - Force is directly proportional to the surface area - Surface area is inversely proportional to the distance traveled by the piston - Force is inversely proportional to the distance traveled by the piston ii) Why water is not suitable to become the fluid in the hydraulic system? ~ Water is containing air particles = Water has a low boiling point EXTRA -- Water has a high expansion rate / Water has low fluidity 2. Mercury barometer 3. Archimedes's principle CHAPTER 4 |7. Heating curve i) Calculation 2. Specific heat capacity 3. Boyle's law 4, Pressure lawPowered by Andrew Choo CHAPTER 5 CHAPTER 1 1.
