B How to Compile a Report on Experiments: Resources & Tips

AI Thread Summary
To compile a report on experiments effectively, focus on structuring your document with clear sections for introduction, methodology, results, and discussion. Utilize online resources and guides specifically tailored for writing physics reports, which often include tips on presenting tables, graphs, and data analysis. Familiarize yourself with error propagation techniques, as they are crucial for accurate reporting. Books on scientific writing can also provide valuable insights into formatting and clarity. Thorough research and practice will enhance your report-writing skills significantly.

Hi,
I have to do an exam (lasting 3 hours) where it is required to perform a very simple experiment.
The test is graded, obviously, not on the experiment itself but on how you compile a report on it, tables, graphs, error proagation, data analysis, etc... all stuff I'm definitely not good at... I'm all about theory.
Are there any helpful resources on the web? Even books would be great.
Thank you!

Just google something like "How to write a physics report" and see what pops up. Or did you take that obvious step already?
 
Thread 'Question about pressure of a liquid'
I am looking at pressure in liquids and I am testing my idea. The vertical tube is 100m, the contraption is filled with water. The vertical tube is very thin(maybe 1mm^2 cross section). The area of the base is ~100m^2. Will he top half be launched in the air if suddenly it cracked?- assuming its light enough. I want to test my idea that if I had a thin long ruber tube that I lifted up, then the pressure at "red lines" will be high and that the $force = pressure * area$ would be massive...
I feel it should be solvable we just need to find a perfect pattern, and there will be a general pattern since the forces acting are based on a single function, so..... you can't actually say it is unsolvable right? Cause imaging 3 bodies actually existed somwhere in this universe then nature isn't gonna wait till we predict it! And yea I have checked in many places that tiny changes cause large changes so it becomes chaos........ but still I just can't accept that it is impossible to solve...
