(b) A student carries out an experiment to investigate the situation in Diagram 3.1. Diagram 3.2 shows the apparatus set-up for the experiment.

Pulley Plasticine

Weights

Stick Diagram 3.2 The student takes the following steps:

Step 1: A lump of plasticine is made into a shape of a cylinder to form a model. Step 2: Four sticks of equal size are fitted into the four corners of the model to form the legs so that it can stand on the table. Step 3: A string is hooked to the model. The string then passes over a pulley fixed at the edge of the table. A dish is tied to the end of the string. Step 4: Weights are added to the dish until the model topples. Step 5: The weight needed to topple the model is then recorded. Step 6: Steps 2 to 6 are repeated using sticks of different lengths.

(i)

Record the weight needed to topple models P, Q and R in Table 3.3.
