Theory:
Circular motion is performed by whirling thr rubber bung.
Since the bung is moving in a circular path has non-zero acceleration
directed towards the center of the circle .
According to Newton's second law,F=ma ,directed towards the center
of the circle in order to produce the acceleraion.This is known as the
centripetal force.
Source of errors:
1.There is a frictional force between the string and the rubber tube,
so tension may vary throughout experiment.
2.Human errors in taking measurements.
3.Scale uncertainty of meter rule and table-balance.
4.Faults in the instruments.
5.The circular path of the bung may not be horizontal.
6.The angular velocity of the bung may not be uniform.
Impprovements:
1.Use smooth rubber tube and string to minimize the friction.
2.Use a heavy but small bung instead of light and large onces.
3.Use instruments which are more precise .
4.Repeat the experiment so as to minimize the radom errors.
