Apparatus
Various objects or masses (between 5 and 8), balance, newton-meters(1N and 5N)
Method
-
Find the mass of an object using the balance.
-
Find its corresponding weight using a newton-meter (start with the least sensitive-5N -first) but if its weight is under 1N, use the 1N newton-meter.
-
Repeat this procedure using the other objects.
-
Draw a graph of weight in N against mass in kg.
-
Calculate the slope of this graph.
