1a. (i) Using the spring balance provided, determine the weight of an object of mass M = 5.0 g. Record this weight as W\(_1\).

(ii) Determine the weight of the object when completely immersed in water contained in a beaker as shown in the diagram. Record the weight as W\(_2\).

(iii) Determine the weight of the object when it is completely immersed in the liquid labelled "L". Record the weight as W\(_3\). Evaluate u = (W\(_1\) - W\(_2\)) and v = (W\(_1\) - W\(_3\)).

(iv) Repeat the procedure with the objects of masses M = 10, 15, 20, and 25 g. In each case, evaluate v = (W\(_1\) - W\(_3\)) on the vertical axis against u = (W\(_1\) - W\(_2\)) on the horizontal axis.

(v) Determine the slope, s, of the graph.

(vi) State two precautions taken to ensure accurate results.[21 marks]

bi.  A piece of brass of mass 20.0 g is hung on a spring balance from a rigid support and completely immersed in kerosene of density 8.0 × 10\(^2\) kgm\(^{-3}\). Determine the reading on the spring balance. [g = 10 ms\(^{-2}\), density of brass = 8.0 × 10\(^3\) kgm\(^{-3}\)]

(Provide your answer with unit e.g 123.123 m)

2a. 

(i) Fix a metre rule on the bench with the graduated face up.

(ii) Place the illuminated object at the zero end of the rule and the screen at the other end as illustrated in the diagram above.

(iii) Measure and record D, the distance between the object and the screen. Evaluate D\(^2\)

(iv) Place and move the converging lens between the illuminated object and the screen until a diminished, sharp image of the object is formed on the screen. Read and record the position, x\(_1\), of the lens. From this position, move the lens towards the object until another sharp image of the object is formed on the screen. Read and record the position, x\(_2\), of the lens.

(v) Evaluate and record L = (x\(_1\) - x\(_2\)), L\(^2\) and (D\(^2\) - L\(^2\)).

(vi) Repeat the procedure for D = 90, 80, 70, and 60 cm. In each case, evaluate L, L\(^2\), and (D\(^2\) - L\(^2\)). Tabulate your readings.

(vii) Plot a graph of D\(^2\) - L\(^2\) on the vertical axis against D on the horizontal axis.

(viii) Determine the slope, s, of the graph and evaluate K = \(\frac{\text{s}}{4}\). State two precautions taken to ensure accurate results.[21 marks]

bi. Distinction Between Real and Virtual Images [2 marks]

ii. Draw a ray diagram to show how a converging lens may be used to form a real diminished image of an object [2 marks]
