James Bolton 9HS Physics AT1 Aim: To investigate how the depth of sand in a cylindrical vessel affects the amount of tilt to which the vessel can tilt to whilst remaining stable. Prediction: As the level of sand within the vessel rises so will the amount to which it can be tilted remaining stable, this is until the sand level is over halfway through the vessel vertically, where it will begin to become less stable again. Hypothesis: The centre of gravity, or centre of mass is a point through which the whole weight of an object seems to act. There are several factors that can affect the positioning of the centre of gravity. In this case, the factor investigated will be the depth of x (sand). Sand has a mass, and so when added to the cylindrical vessel will alter the total mass of the vessel. This change in mass will thus change the positioning of the...
