TP1.1 (a) The fourth experimental point from the top is a circle: This point
lies just above the best-fit curve that passes through the point (400 cm2,
?
0.20 g). The interval between horizontal grid lines is 1 space = 0.05 g.
An estimate from the graph shows that the circle has a vertical
separation of 0.3 spaces = 0.015 g above the best-fit curve.
