A pendulum is timed, first for 20 swings and then for 50 swings.

time for 20 swings=17.4 s

time for 50 swings=43.2 s

Calculate the average time per swings in each case, The answers are slightly different. Suggest some possible experimental reason for this.

A student is measuring the density of a liquid. He places a measuring cylinder on a balance and record its mass. He then pours liquid into the cylinder and records the new reading on the balance. He also records the volume of the liquid.

Mass of empty cylinder =147 g

Mass of cylinder+liquid =203 g

Volume of liquid =59 cm3

Using the results shown, calculate the density of the liquid.
