 Section A
[28 Marks]
Answer all questions.

1 A student carries out an experiment to investigate the relationship between the volume,
V, of pressed syringe and pressure, P. The apparatus set-up for the experiment is shown
in Diagram 1.0.The reading of the Bourdon gauge when the piston of the syringe pressed
to 8.0 cm3 is 1.25 Pa.

Diagram 1.0

The piston of the syringe is pressed.

Diagram 1.1 shows the reading of the bourdon gauge, P, when the volume of the
compressed air, V= 5.0 cm3.
The experiment is repeated with the air compressed to 4.0 cm3, 3.0 cm3, 2.0 cm3 and 1.0
cm3. The corresponding readings of bourdon gauge are shown in Diagram 1.1, 1.2, 1.3,
1.4 and 1.5.
