was it supposed to be 1.91 x 10^10 ???
I'm not too sure I got 1.99X10^8 and what was the shape of the force against extension graph ?
Original post by Luj99
I think I did and how did your force against extension graph look like ?
Original post by Chapers64
Passed limit of proportionality at 5.9N and then started curving I think
But they asked to draw a line of best fit so how can it curve?

A line of best fit goes through all the points.. So in this case it has to be a curve.

Got 1.97 x 10^10 for young modulus
I used 5.5N and 0.008m

Uncertainty on metre rule is +/- 0.5mm, 0.5/60 = 0.83%
You're wrong the uncertainty on a meter rule is +/- 1mm
i think till 6N it obeyed Hookes law then it lost its elastic behaviour...plastic deformation began so mine was a a curve.. what about yours?

yeah mine too was a curve from 5.9-6.0 N

I just drew a straight line of best fit

Was it okay to round it off to 2%

and what about your percentage uncertanity ? was it 1.7%

For the percentage uncertainty weren't we supposed to change 0.01mm into cm then divide it by 6 and multiply it by 100?
If you used vernier calliper as your measuring tool, that's correct

what about the one for the burns? Did we have to describe about the nodes, anti nodes and the change of phase?
The burns occurred at the antinodes so distance between adjacent antinodes is half lamda. Therefore twice d is lamda.

i lost my 2 marks there... i talked about the wave being hit on a barrier so it traveled a distance L a the reflected wave travels back giving a total distance of 2L Original post by Droneon

No that's the minimum division, the absolute uncertainty is half the minimum division, https://www.physicsforums.com/threads/what-is-the-uncertainty-in-a-metre-rule.610200/ check for yourself
Yeh I guess you're right... You can take the uncertainty as either +/- 0.5mm or 1mm.
You'll get marks either way.

Is it okay if I rounded off the % uncertainty to 2% instead of 1.7%?

Anyone??

I kept my percentage uncertainty as 1.67% i didnt round it off to 1.7% i would still get the mark right?
