(a) (i) By adjusting the position of the clamp, lower the spring and mass hanger so that
the bottom of the tube is immersed centrally in the oil to a depth d of about 5 cm, as
shown in Fig. 2.2.

(c) (i) Pull down the mass hanger about 3 cm and release it so that it moves up and
down.
Each time the mass hanger moves down, you will see that the lowest position that
it reaches changes gradually from 3 cm to 0 cm below the arrow.
(ii) Repeat (i) and start the stopwatch when the mass hanger’s lowest position is 2.0 cm
below the arrow. Stop the stopwatch when the lowest position has become 0.5 cm
below the arrow.
Record this time t.
