We see that the values of the deflection in table are nearly equal and thus by

reciprocity theorem the values are consistent.

TASK 3

 The ruler may be unstable as it may not be

fixed.The ruler may slip so we need to fix it

properly.

 The block sliding with wall would experience

friction and would be better if no sliding is

done.

 If the ruler is rigid the oscillations may be

small and fast and taking reading would be

difficult and need to measure it properly.

 Taking two people instead of one during the

reading of oscillation would lower the errors

due to human error.

11
  The oscillation should be small as it follows

the SHM condition for small oscillations and

care should be made that the ruler oscillates

perpendicularly.

 Taking long number of oscillation would cause

the inclusion of damping factor in the time

period so medium no. of oscillations should

be taken into consideration.
