    Pressure Law - Can someone help me plan an experiment?

    Homework Statement I need to investigate and model how changing temperature in a car tyre will affect the pressure. To do this, I have to use a syringe, along with any other laboratory equipment. I'm also given the cross sectional area and volume of the syringe. Homework Equations The...

    Boyle's Law - Experiment Question

    Thanks for the reply but er... that seems a bit beyond me I think. I'm doing UK A-level Physics so basically it's meant to be an easy common sense answer really, and it is worth 2 marks. I think it just wants a general comment, and I'm pretty sure half of that comment is, reduced uncertainty in...

    Boyle's Law - Experiment Question

    Hey guys, I was just wondering if you could help me on this quick question I have. Homework Statement A student does an experiment to investigate Boyle's Law by adding masses onto the bottom of an upside down syringe and measuring the length of the gas column in the syringe. Force is...

    Pressure Experiment - P=P0±mg/A

    Hey guys, we did an experiment that involved pressure of a fixed mass of air in an upside down syringe. We hung weights off the bottom and decreased the pressure of the gas, and increased the length of it. Quite a basic, gas law experiment based on the fact that pV = constant. Anyway, when we...

    Practical physics questions - Pressure & Uncertainty

    Guys about that first problem to do with the pressure. I think I may have a solution and I was wondering if you could check it please? Modify the apparatus to include a pressure gauge and see how far above normal atmospheric pressure it reads with no mass. Find the cross sectional area of the...

    Practical physics questions - Pressure & Uncertainty

    Hey guys, I have a few questions I would like to ask if that is okay First off: I was doing an experiment regarding Boyle's Law, and there are some questions that accompany it. I had a syringe filled with gas and I had to add mass on the syringe so that the piston moved down. I had to convert...
