(vi) Calculate the value of $P = -4\pi^2n^2S$
(a)
Set the length of the given string and its pendulum bob to have 50 cm from the point of suspension. The pendulum bob was to be just above the surface of the table to allow swinging of the bob for h = 1cm as shown in Figure 1.

You are provided with: a cell of e.m.f, E; a key, K; an ammeter, A; a voltmeter, V; connecting wires, a resistance box, R; a wire, W and a micrometer screw gauge.
(a) Set up an electric circuit as shown in figure 2 below
(b) Measure the length XY of the wire, W equal to 17 cm and set R to one 1 Ω then close the key. Read and record ammeter reading, I in Amperes and voltmeter reading, V in Volt. Open the key after taking the readings.
(c) Repeat the procedures in 1 (b) above for the values of R = 2 Ω, 3 Ω, 4 Ω and 5 Ω, keeping the length XY of the wire constant. Read and record the corresponding value of current, I and voltage, V in each case; and then
(i) Tabulate the results
(ii) Plot a graph of voltage, V against current, I
(iii) Compute the slope, S of the graph
