CLASS IX PHYSICS PRACTICALS


EXPT. NO.1
Objective: To determine the density of a solid (which is denser than water) by using a spring balance and a
measuring cylinder. (on RHS page)

Materials required: A measuring cylinder, a spring balance, a small non porous object and water. (on RHS
page)
Theory: The mass of a unit volume of a substance is called its density.
If D is the density of a body of mass M and volume V, then

In S.I unit, density is expressed in kg m -3 and the c.g.s. unit is g/cm3


For example, density of water is 1000 kg m-3. (On RHS page)
Diagram: (on blank page with pencil)

Observations and calculations: (on blank page with pencil)


1. Range of spring balance = _____g
2. Least count of the spring balance =_____g
3. Range of measuring cylinder=______ml
4. Least count of measuring cylinder=_____ml
S No. Mass of solid block (g) Volume of solid block V=(V2-V1)ml D= M/V(g/ml)
1.
2.
Mean Density=D1 + D2 =____g/ml
2

Result: The density of the given solid (heavier than water) is ................... g/cm3 (g/ml) (on RHS page)

Precautions: (on RHS page)


1. Always used a thread of least weight and volume to tie the solid block.
2. The indicator of the spring balance should be at zero before measuring the mass of the solid.
3. The solid block should be completely immersed in water of the measuring cylinder before observing its
volume.
4. The solid block should not touch the brim and sides of the beaker.
5. Always note reading of lower meniscus of water level.
Experiment No.- 2
Objective- To establish the relationship between loss in weight of a solid when fully immersed in tap water
with the weight of water displaced by it. (on RHS page)
Apparatus required- Spring balance, solid blocks, measuring cylinder, cotton thread, tap water. (on RHS
page)

Theory- Let W1 be the weight of the solid block in air and W 2 the weight of the solid block when fully
immersed in the liquid.

Apparent loss in weight= weight of the solid block in air - weight of the solid block in the liquid,

Apparent loss in weight= W1 – W2 --------------------------------------------(1)

Let V be the volume of the solid block, d the density of the liquid.

So, weight of the liquid displaced = V d g----------------------------------- (2)

According to the Archimedes’ principle, “When a body is immersed in a liquid, an upward thrust, equal to the
weight of the liquid displaced, acts on it.”

Apparent loss in weight = Weight of the liquid displaced (on RHS page)

W1 – W2 = V d g

Observation- ( On the blank side in pencil)

Density of tap water = 1 gm/ml,


Range of the spring balance-…………..gm,
Least count of the spring balance…………….gm
Range of the measuring cylinder = ……………ml,
Least count of the measuring cylinder = ……………………ml

Type of S.No. Weight of Weight of the Volume of the Loss in weight Buoyant
water the object in object in liquid water displaced W1 – W2 (gwt ) Force F = V d
air W2(gwt) V = (V2 – V1)(ml) (gwt)

Tap 1.
water
2.

Result- (1) An apparent loss in weight of a solid block immersed fully in liquid is equal to the weight of the
liquid displaced by that body. (on RHS page)
(2) If the same body is immersed in two different liquids, the loss in weight of the body is more in denser one. l
Precautions- (1) The pointer should move freely along the scale. (on RHS page)
(2) Use a sensitive spring balance and record its zero error.
(3) Thread should be thin.
(4) While weighing in the liquid, the solid body should be fully immersed in water. It should not touch the sides
of the measuring cylinder.
EXPERIMENT NO. 3
OBJECTIVE: To verify the laws of reflection of sound. (on RHS page)

MATERIALS REQUIRED: A thin rectangular plane mirror strip, A wooden board /cardboard with a vertical
groove (for vertical support of the mirror) a wooden/ plastic block with a vertical groove, two hollow long
tubes a stop clock, stop watch in a cardboard box, a card board box, with a slit almost the size of the tube, a
large white sheet, drawing pins or tape, meter scale. (on RHS page)

THEORY INVOLVED: When a sound wave passing through a homogenous medium falls on the surface of
another medium, a part of it is sent back into the first medium. This phenomenon is known as reflection of
sound. (on RHS page)

The laws of reflection of sound are:


(I)Angle of incidence = Angle of reflection
(II)The incident wave, reflected wave and normal at the point of incidence all lie on the same plane.

(on Blank page)


OBSERVATIONS: Least count of the protractor=1o (on Blank page)

S. NO. ANGLE MADE BY THE TUBE T1 ANGLE MADE BY THE TUBE DIFFERENCE i=r
WITH THE NORMAL (i) T2 WITH THE NORMAL(r)

RESULT: 1. Within the limits of experimental error i=r (on RHS page)
2. When the tube through which sound is heard is lifted, the sound is diminished or
weakened. This shows that the reflected ray lies in the same plane as incidence.
PRECAUTIONS: 1.Keep the mirror strip vertically on the line drawn on the sheet. (on RHS page)
2. To avoid unwanted sound, tubes of a longer length and smaller diameter should
be used.
3. Since one is dealing with large dimensions a bigger protractor should be used in
measurement.

EXPERIMENT No. 4

OBJECTIVE: To determine the velocity of a pulse propagated through a stretched string/slinky. (on RHS page)

APPARATUS: A long, thick, uniform string or slinky (long loose coiled helical spring), stopwatch, a hook, a
metre scale. (on RHS page)

THEORY/ BASIC CONCEPTS INVOLVED: A small sudden disturbance produced in a medium is called a pulse.
Velocity of a pulse is defined as the difference travelled by that pulse in unit time in a specified direction.

Mathematically, Pulse velocity(v)= Distance travelled by a pulse(s)/ time taken (t) (on RHS page)

OBSERVATION: (on Blank page)

a)Least count of the stopwatch=…………………………

b) Least count of the metre scale=………………………

c) Length of the stretched slinky/ string(s)=…………..

S. NO. DISTANCE TIME TAKEN BY PULSE VELOCITY V=


TRAVELLED BY THE PULSE=(t) (s) s/t
PULSE (s) (m/s)

Mean velocity of pulse=_______m/s

RESULT: The velocity of a pulse propagated through stretched string/ slinky =_______m/s (on RHS page)

PRECAUTIONS:1. String/slinky should be of a suitable length and flexibility. (on RHS page)
2. One end of the string/ slinky should be well fixed.
3. Jerks should be given at a normal to the length of the string.
4. Time should be noted quickly and carefully.
