 1.VERNIER CALIPER(Short Procedure)
1. Vernier caliper is checked for zero error &
correction.
2. Sphere is kept in between the jaws of the Vernier
caliper
3. Main scale reading (MSR ) and Vernier scale
Cincidence ( VSD ) is noted.
4. Diameter of the sphere is calculated by using the
formula (MSR + VSC x LC).
5. Readings are taken for different positions of the
sphere and the average value of the diameter and
radius R is Calculated.
6. From the values of M and R, using the formula
moment of inertia of the given
sphere is calculated.
2.SPRING CONSTANT(Short Procedure)
1. Mass M =200 g is attached to lower end of vertical
spring.
2. Mass is pulled downward and released so that the
spring oscillates vertically.
3. By using a stop clock, the time taken for 20
vertical oscillations is noted for two trials.
4. The experiment is repeated by masses
M=250g,300g,350g and period of oscillation T and
T2 is calculated for each mass
5. for any two mass is calculated
6. Using the formula,
the spring constant of
the given spring is calculated.
3.SIMPLE PENDULUM(Short Procedure)
1. A metal ball is attached to a support by a string of
length l =50cm.
2. Simple pendulum is pushed gently so that the ball
oscillates.
3. By using a stop clock, the time taken for 20
oscillations is noted for two trials.
4. Period of oscillation T and T2 is calculated.
5. Acceleration due to gravity is
calculated using the formula,
6. The experiment is repeated by different length of
string and average g is calculated.
4.RESONANCE COLUMN(Short Procedure)
1. A excited tuning fork of frequency ν is kept
horizontally near the opening of air column in the
glass tube.
2. Length of air column is adjusted by reservoir so
that booming resonance sound is heard.
3. First resonating length of air column l1 is noted.

4. Length of air column is incresed by moving
reservoir downwards so that another booming
sound is heard.
5. Second resonating length of air column l1 is noted.
6. Using the formula,
velocity of sound in air is calculated.
7. Experiment is repeated for different frequencies of
tuning fork.
5.FREQUENCY AND LENGTH(Short Procedure)
1. Sonometer wire is stretched by a fixed load
M=300kg.
2. A paper rider is placed on the sonometer wire
between two wedges.
3. A excited tuning fork of frequency n is kept on the
sonometer box.
4. Distance between wedges is adjusted till the paper
rider is thrown out.
5. Resonating length l between the wedges is noted.
6. Experiment is repeated for different frequencies (n)
and Resonating length l between the wedges is
noted.
7. Product nl is calculated and found to be constant
6.TENSION and LENGTH (Short Procedure)
1. Sonometer wire is stretched by a load M=2kg.
2. A paper rider is placed on the sonometer wire
between two wedges.
3. A excited tuning fork of constant frequency n is
kept on the sonometer box.
4. Distance between wedges is adjusted till the paper
rider is thrown out.
5. Resonating length l between the wedges is noted.
6. Experiment is repeated for different load
M=2.5kg,3kg &3kg and Resonating length l is
noted.
7. T=mg and is calculated. is found to be
constant.
7.VISCOSITY- STOKE’S METHOD(Short Procedure)
1. Highly viscous liquid is poured into a long glass
tube of length 1metre.
2. Two rubber bands separated by a distance of
d=50m is put around the tube at a distance of 20m
from the top.
3. By using a stop clock, the time taken for steel ball
to cross distance 50 m is noted for two trials.
4. Terminal velocity v =d/t is calculated
5. Experiment is repeated for different distances and
mean terminal velocity is calculated.
6. From the values of v,r,δ and σ, using the formula
Coefficient of viscosity of the
given liquid is calculated.
