Answer

Marks

Inertia is affected by mass.

The larger the mass of the object is, the larger its
inertia/period of oscillation
To investigate the relationship between the mass and its
period of oscillation
Manipulated variable : Mass of plasticine.
Responding variable : Period of oscillation of the hacksaw
blade
Constant variable
: Length of the hacksaw blade.//
Distance between plasticine and to
where the blade is clamped//the
stiffness of hacksaw blade

List of appropriate apparatus and material

Plasticine, hacksaw blade, G-clamp, triple beam balance
and stopwatch.
Describing set up of the apparatus

Stating the procedure of the experiment

1. A lump of plasticine with mass of 20 g is fixed at the
end of the hacksaw blade.
1
2. The lump of plasticine is oscillated horizontally and
the time taken for 10 oscillations is measured using a

stopwatch.
3. The experiment is repeated with mass of plasticine, m =
