Diagram 1 1 shows a fisherman starting his fishing journey in the morning. Diagram 2
shows the fisherman returned with a boat loaded with fish. On his return journey, he
found that it is more difficult to stop the boat.

Answer Scheme

Inference: The inertia depends on mass of object

Hypothesis: When the mass of an object increases, its inertia also increases.√
Aim: To study the relationship between mass and inertia. √
Variables:
Manipulated variable: Mass of plasticine√
Responding variable: Period of oscillation√
Constant variable: length of the Hacksaw/amplitude of oscillation/stiffness of Hacksaw blade√
List of apparatus and material:
Hacksaw blade, G-clamp, stopwatch and plasticine√
Arrangement of apparatus and material: √

Procedure:
1. Place a lump of plasticine (sphere-shaped) with a mass of 30g at the free end of the Hacksaw
blade. √
2. Displace the Hacksaw blade slightly and release it so that it oscillates horizontally.
3. Determine and record the time taken for 10 complete oscillation, t seconds. √
4. Calculate period of oscillation, seconds.
5. Repeat steps 1-4 of the experiment with mass of 40g, 50g, 60g and 70g. √

Result: √√

Conclusion: √
Precaution: The position of eye must be perpendicular to the scale of stop watch to avoid
parallax error. √
