Practise Edexcel IGCSE Physics scale diagrams by measuring a length on a diagram and using the scale factor to find a laboratory value.

How this is tested

  • Measure a length from a diagram and multiply by the stated scale factor to find height.

Question 10(c)(i)

[Maximum number: 2]

Diagram 1 shows the apparatus a student uses to investigate the bending of a wooden strip.

Part of the wooden strip is clamped to a table.
A load is fixed to the free end of the wooden strip, causing it to bend.

Diagram 1

Diagram 1

The free end of the wooden strip is positioned a length, L , beyond the edge of the table, as shown in diagram 1.

The weight of the load causes the end of the wooden strip to move down through a height, h.

A student investigates how the length, L , affects the height, h .

The table shows the results of the investigation.

Diagram 2 shows the wooden strip when L=80 cm\mathrm{L}=80 \mathrm{~cm}.

Diagram 2

Diagram 2

Using diagram 2, determine the height, h, in the laboratory.
[1 cm on the diagram = 10 cm in the laboratory]
height, h=
cm
