Based on our groups of observation as seen from the tables and charts above, the
actual velocities in the trials are much smaller than the theoretical velocities. Likewise,
when it comes to flow rate, actual flow rates results are still smaller than the theoretical
flow rates. However, device coefficient values in the first trial are too far when compared
to the second and third device coefficients.
Errors in this experiment varies depending on how the performer sees the value in the
ruler. Since the lines were thin and small, not all groups will come up with same or exact
values. Another thing is since the water is not stable, it is hard to measure its height in
different trials. We can also encounter errors when we are not using the ruler in straight
position. It is really important to be careful in using equipments/materials in this
experiment since we are using small measurement (mm). Also, we should always
remember to look for the meniscus to find the real height of the water.
