Question 122

A student is investigating the relationship between the extension of a polymer thread of unstretched length 2.000 m2.000\text{ m}2.000 m and the load hung on the thread. She has a set of 5 N5\text{ N}5 N weights.

Consider the readings shown in Table 5.1:

Table 5.1

a.

Identify the appropriate column headings, including units, for Column 1, Column 2, and Column 3.

b.

The student repeats the experiment using a thread made of a different material to study how the material affects extension. State two variables that must be kept constant to ensure a fair test.
