A student carries out an experiment to investigate the relationship between the increase
in temperature, Afl of water and the mass, nr, of the water. The initial temperature, 9s,
of a basin of water was rneasured with a thermometer as shown in Diagram 1.1.
pelajar menjalanknn satu elcsperimen untuk menyiasat hubungan antara
kcnailrsn suhu, L0 bagi air denganjisim, m, air itu. Suhu awal, 06, bagi sebuah besen
air diukur oleh sebush termometer seperti dituniukkan dalam Rajah 1.1.

A mass, m: 0.20 kg of the water taken from the basin was placed in a polystyrene cup
and heated for 1 minute as shown in Diagram 1.2. The final temper&ture, B, of the
water is read on the thermometer. Diagram 1.3 shows the meniscus of the mercury
column in the thermometer.
