Question 1

Sand drips from a funnel into an empty cylindrical tube. A student takes measurements to find how fast the height of the sand is rising up the tube.

The student measures the height of the sand every two minutes. State the two pieces of equipment that he uses.

[2]

The student records his measurements in a table and then plots a graph of height against time. (i) State the quantities and appropriate units that should be used to label both the horizontal axis ( $x$ -axis) and vertical axis ( $y$ -axis). (ii) The sand rises up the tube at a constant rate. Describe the line that should be drawn on the graph, specifying its starting point.

Some sand spills onto the floor, forming a thin, flat layer. The average thickness of this layer of sand is 3.6 mm. Determine this average thickness in meters ( $m\text{m}$ ).
