1. COMPREHENSION
Read the following passage and then answer the questions that follow
At the head of the court is a high seat where the judge sits. Down below it is a table for officers
of the court and o the left and to the right of the table are other seats. Some of these seats form a block
that is enclosed, and they are for the jury if there is a jury. In front of the table are other seats
arranged in arcs of circles, with curved tables in front of the seats, and it is there that the lawyers sit.
And behind them is the dock, with a passage leading to some place that is underground, and from
this place that is underground will be brought the men that are judged. At the back of the court there
are seats rising in tiers, those on the right for Europeans, those on the left for non-Europeans,
according to the custom.
You may not smoke in this court, you may not whisper or speak or laugh. You must dress
decently and if you are a man, you may not wear your hat unless such is your religion. This is in
honour of the judge and in honour of the king whose officer he is; and in honour of the law behind
the judge and in honour of the people behind the law. When the judge enters you will stand and you
will not sit till he is seated. When the judges leaves you will stand and you will not move till he has
left you. This is in honour of the judge and of the things behind the judge.
The judge is entrusted a great duty and pronounce sentence even sentence of death. Because of
their high office, judges are called honourable and precede most other men on great occasions. And
they are held in great honour by men both white and black. Because the land is a land of fear, a judge
must be without fear, so that justice may be done according to the law; therefore a judge must be
incorruptible.
The judge does not make the law. It is the people that make the law. Therefore, if a law is
unjust, and if the judge judges according to the law, that is justice, even if it is not just. It is the duty of
a judge to do justice, but it is only that the people that can be just. Therefore, if justice be not just, that
is not to be laid at the door of the judge but at the door of the people, which means at the door of the
white people for it is the white people that make the law.
In South Africa men are proud of their judges because they are incorruptible. Even the black
men are proud of their judges because they believe they are incorruptible. Even the black men have
faith in them, though they do not always have faith in the law. In a land of fear this incorruptibility is
like a lamp set upon a stand giving light to that are in the house.
QUESTIONS
1. What factors determine where you may sit near the front of the court? (2mks)
2. What does the seating arrangement at the back of the court reveal about the society? (2mks)
3. Certain rules must be strictly observed inside the court. What would non-observance of the rules
imply? (2mks)
4. Why must a judge be fearless? (2mks)
5. How have judges in South Africa earned respect and admiration? (2mks)
6. Although the judge has great responsibilities and power, he has limitations. What are his
limitations? (4mks)

2. Read the following excerpt and then answer the questions that follow (25 mks)
The door to the bathroom opened. Fiona emerged and started walking but stopped. Her eyes
had not adjusted to the darkness in the living room. “Where are you?” she asked.
“Over here,” he said. “I have taken a couch in the living room. Go take the bed in the
bedroom.”
“You’re acting as if you might have a wife,” she said. “Do you?”
“No, she divorced me last year.” “Did she?”
“Yes.”
“Let’s see now. You studied in America at a marriageable age.”
“So?”
“So let me guess.” Go ahead.
“She is American.”
“Who? Pamela?”
“That’s her name? Pamela?”
“Yes, it is. And, yes, she is American. Enough about me now. Let’s turn to you. Shouldn’t your
name still be Fiona McKenzie?”
“Who told you it might have changed?” She started walking to the bedroom. Her eyes had
adjusted to the only light.
“Why was Liberian Mauler calling you Joy instead?”
“It’s local slang for streetwalker?”
He was calling you a streetwalker?”
“Yes. Do you want me to draw a picture for you? Where are you from anyway? Mars?”
“No: Nigeria. Married?” “Me?”
The phone rang.
He rose and answered the landline by the couch. When he ended the call, his mood had
darkened.
“What’s the matter?” she asked him. You seem upset all of a sudden. Who was on the phone?”
“One Chineke Chiamaka,” he said. The man was claiming that I chided him for being drunk,
when all he had had was a Pepsi.” He wriggled in his improvised bed to protest his innocence
against that claim. “It beats me how he got my suite phone number in the first place,” he added.
“Anyway, I did not chide him. Why do people like to tell lies?”

TIME : 2 ½ HOURS

INSTRUCTIONS TO CANDIDATES

1. Write your name and admission number in the spaces provided.


2. Answer all the questions in the spaces provided.
3. You are supposed to spend the first 15 minutes of the 2 ½ hours allowed for this paper reading
the whole paper clearly before commencing your work.
4. Non – programmable silent electronic calculators and KNEC mathematical tables may be used.
5. Candidates are advised to record their observations as soon as they are made.

QUESTION 1

This question consists of part A and B.

Attempt both parts.

PART A

You are provided with the following:

Contact 0795491185/0768321553 for Marking Schemes


- A bare copper wire of diameter 0.71 mm (SWG 22) and length 50cm.
- A retort stand, boss and clamp
- An optical pin mounted on a cork
- A stop watch
- Wire cutters /pliers(to be shared)
- A metre rule or half metre rule

Proceed as follows:

(a) Clamp the cork so that optical pin is horizontal. Hang the copper wire from the pin by the loop as
shown in figure 1. Ensure the wire is straight and the length X between the lower tip and the
optical pin is 32 cm. if the length exceeds 32 cm reduce by cutting at the lower tip using the wire
cutters provided.

(b) Displace the lower tip of the wire slightly in a plane perpendicular to the optical pin and then
release it. Measure the time t=10 oscillations of the wire and record the value in table 1.

(c) Repeat the procedure in (b) above for other values of X shown in the table. (Note that each
length X is obtained by cutting off an appropriate length from the lower tip of the wire.
For example to get X= 28 cm cut off 4 cm from the lower end). Complete the table.

PART B
You are provided with the following:

- A cylindrical container (about 20cm high and diameter 8cm or more)- used plastic
containers can be used by cutting the upper section
- Some water
- A stop watch
- A metre rule or half-metre rule
- A boiling tube

Contact 0795491185/0768321553 for Marking Schemes


- Some sand (in 100ml beaker)
- Spatula
- A rubber band
Proceed as follows:

(f) Tie the rubber band round the boiling tube so that it is at a distance L =12 cm from the bottom of
the tube (see fig 2a). Pour water into the cylindrical container until the level is about 2.0 cm from
the top of the beaker. Float the boiling tube in the water in the container. Add sand gradually into
the boiling tube until the tube sinks to the 12 cm mark. See figure 2(b).

(g) Depress the boiling tube slightly and release so that it oscillates vertically without touching the
sides of the container. Measure and record in table 2 the time t1, for five oscillations of the
boiling tube. Repeat the procedure two more times to obtain t2 and t3 and record the values in
table 2. Complete the table. (3 marks)

(h) Evaluate P= given that L is the length of the tube in metres up to the rubber band in part (f)
𝑇2
and T is the value obtained in (g) above.

QUESTION TWO

You are provided with the following.

- A 250 cm3 beaker


- Water
- a metre rule
- Screen
- Candle
i) Add 200cm3 of water to the vessel and obtain ‘h’ the height in centimetres of the water above the
base of the vessel. Determine the appropriate value of R, the internal radius in centimetres from the
formulae;

h= _________________________ cm (1 Marks)

R=_______________________cm (1 Marks)

This experiment uses a cylindrical vessel, filled with water as a lens and compare its radius with the
effective focal length.

ii) Set the apparatus as shown in diagram below:
