Question

Please answer the following questions on the experiment "beam deflection " 

 

METHODS (APPARATUS AND PROCEDURE) 1. Draw a clearly labelled diagram (attributed if relevant). METHODS (APPARATUS AND PROCEDURE) 2. Describe the apparatus and instrumentation and how they work. METHODS (APPARATUS AND PROCEDURE) 3. Describe the experimental procedure (including the design stage of the experiment). METHODS (APPARATUS AND PROCEDURE) 4. Methods section and stages flow and develop logically in an appropriate engineering style. Note - This section should include a clearly labelled 2-D schematic diagram of the apparatus. NO PHOTOGRAPHS NO 3-D SKETCHES NO FREEBODY DIAGRAMS It should also contain a description of the apparatus AND instrumentation, and not simply a list of the parts and equipment. Procedure This should be an account of WHAT YOU DID. It should therefore be written in the past tense and be impersonal. E.g. "The position of supports around the loading mechanism was set", NOT "I positioned supports around the loading mechanism". It should NOT be written as a set of instructions or a Lab sheet. You are telling the reader what YOU did; NOT instructing them on what THEY should do. The Procedure section should also include the design stage of the experiment (described in words), where you decided on the parameters of the experiment. In this Procedure section, refer, where appropriate, to the Introduction section of the report (for the equations used) and Results section of the report (for the values measured/calculated).
