Practice Question Chap 3.2 [MRSM 2008 P3 (section A) Q1 ]

A student carries out an experiment to investigate the relationship between the
pressure of water, and its depth, h.
The arrangement of apparatus is shown in Diagram 1.1.
A thin rubber sheet is fixed across the mouth of a thistle funnel.
A rubber tube is used to attach the funnel to a manometer which contain liquid P.
x1 and x2 are liquid levels in both arms of manometer. The pressure exerted by
water is determined by the difference in the liquid level, l.

Seorang pelajar menjalankan satu eksperimen untuk mengkaji hubungan antara tekanan air
dengan kedalaman, h. Susunan radas untuk eksperimen seperti yang ditunjukkan pada Rajah
1.1.
Sekeping getah nipis diletakkan pada mulut corong tisel. Tiub getah digunakan untuk
menyambung corong itu kepada sebuah manometer yang mengandungi cecair P. dan adalah aras
cecair dalam kedua lengan manometer. Tekanan air ditentukan oleh perbezaan aras cecair, l.

Diagram 1.1

The thistle funnel is immersed in the water at the depth, h = 0.5 cm from the water surface.
The manometer reading is as shown in diagram 1.2
The procedure is repeated with h = 1.0 cm, 1.5 cm, 2.0 cm, and 2.5 cm, and the
corresponding manometer readings are shown in diagram 1.3, 1.4, 1.5 and 1.6 on page ( )
and ( ).

Corong tisel dicelupkan ke dalam air pada kedalaman, h = 5.0 cm, dari permukaan cecair.
Bacaan manometer ditunjukkan pada rajah 1.2
Prosedur diulangi dengan kedalaman, h = h = 1.0 cm, 1.5 cm, 2.0 cm, and 2.5 cm, dan
bacaan manometer yang sepadan ditunjukkan pada rajah 1.3, 1.4, 1.5 and 1.6 on page ( )
and ( ).
