    1 A hot air balloon is tied to the ground using a rope. As the wind blows with speed v, the rope makes an angle to the horizontal, as shown in Fig 1.1.

    Fig 1.1

    It is suggested that tan is inversely proportional to v 2.

    To model the hot air balloon in the laboratory, a balloon filled with helium is used. Design a laboratory experiment using a small helium-filled balloon to test the relationship between and v. You should draw a diagram, on page 3, showing the arrangement of your equipment. In your account you should pay particular attention to

    (a) the procedure to be followed,

    (b) the measurements to be taken,

    (c) the control of variables,

    (d) the analysis of the data,

    (e) the safety precautions to be taken. [15]

    It is suggested that f and L are related by the equation

    f = 12L

    T

    where T is the tension in the wire and is a constant.

    (a) A graph is plotted of f on the y-axis against 1 / L on the x-axis. Determine an expression for the gradient in terms of T and .

    gradient = .................................................. [1]

    (b) Values of f and L are given in Fig. 2.2.

    Calculate and record values of (1 / L) / m1 in Fig. 2.2. Include the absolute uncertainties in 1 / L. [3]

    (c) (i) Plot a graph of f / Hz against (1 / L) / m1. Include error bars for 1 / L. [2]

    (ii) Draw the straight line of best fit and a worst acceptable straight line on your graph. Both lines should be clearly labelled. [2]

    (iii) Determine the gradient of the line of best fit. Include the uncertainty in your answer.
