LIMITATION OF THE EXPERIMENT/ SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Throughout the experiment, a few errors that might have affected the results and data.
First error that occurred in which there was not enough volume of the liquid such as oil
therefore it was mixed with other branding of oil which can contribute to the data error. In
order to resolve this error, the volume of sample for the experiment must be exactly or more
than the initial volume planned.
During the experiment, an error occurred in which the eye was not perpendicular to the
ruler reading during the measurement of the height of water in the beaker. This can cause an
inaccuracy in data during calculation. For a more accurate result, the position of the eye must
be perpendicular to the reading of apparatus when measuring the height of liquid in a beaker.
During the experiment, an error occurred in which the volume of liquid sample for the
marble to be drop in was too low which is difficult to distinct other types of liquid in terms of
measuring time. To avoid this error, the sample of liquid must be prepared in a large amount.
Some safety precautions are laboratory coats, safety goggles and covered shoes must be
worn at all times during lab session.
