Sometimes, error may occur either the random error or systematic error
when the measurements are taken due to the inaccuracy of instruments andmisinterpretation of the observer. Therefore, when the variables of the linear
equation are plotted, not all points fix exactly on a straight line. In this
situation, a line of best fit is drawn.
The two main principles of the line of best fit are:
I. The line must pass through as many points as possible.
II. The number of points that do not fit on the straight line must be fairly
equally distributed on both sides of the line.
In addition, linear law can also be applied to non-linear relations or equation
in which the non-linear equation is reduced to linear form to obtain a straight
line graph. For example, y2 = x2 + 12 is a non-linear equation as it has the
power of two in the variables. So, by applying this powerful law, the highest
power of the equation is reduced to one to form a linear equation by
substitute X and Y into y and x respectively. As a result, Y= X + 12 is formed.
In short, this law is believed to help mankind in solving problems especially
for science and mathematics. This invention may contribute to us so we must
appreciate it and it also must be upgraded to its maximum function and
usage

The Experiment for additional math
projectA simple pendulum consists of an object suspended by a string from a fixed
point. When displaced, and then released, the object will swing back and
forth in a vertical plane under the influence of gravity. This periodic motion
can be used as a basis for measuring time.
The simple pendulum as shown in Diagram 1 is set in motion by releasing the
object through a small angle of displacement, 6(10to 15)from the vertical.
Procedu re1) Set up a simple pendulum by attaching an object to a string of length
60cm.
2) Set the pendulum in motion and measure the time taken, ts, for 20
complete oscillations.
3) Calculate the period, Ts, that is the time taken for one complete
oscillation.4) Repeat steps 1 to 3 using at least 10 different lengths of strings with the
minimum length of 5 cm
5) Record the readings in a suitable table.

This value is slightly lower than the accepted value 9.807 ms"2
Error
Percentage of error
Explanation the Differences
Both of the values that we got is slightly lower than the accepted value. This
is most probably due to the presence of air buoyant force. Another possible
source of error is the pendulum did not oscillate in a plane but in circle. This
make the pendulum become a cone pendulum, where the calculation will be
different from a simple pendulum.

8} A simple pendulum can be used as a device to measure time. Describe how you
can use it to measure your pulse rate.
Make a simple pendulum of length 22.565cm (So that 1 oscillation is
equivalent to 1 second).
Get a friend to count the number of oscillations for you.
Ask him to give instruction when should you start and stop (after 30
oscillation).
Start counting your pulse when your friend says start and stop counting after
30 oscillation.
Repeat this process for 3 times to get the average value. Pave.
The pulse rate = the Pave x 2.

When the length is 4 times its original length,

Substitute I' into the equation.
T* = 2T
Conclusion:
If the length of the pendulum increases by 4 times, the period, T will increase
by 2 times.

Conclusion
Linear law is a very powerful law in which it helps the mankind to solve many
problems easily. We able to establish a relationship between the variables in the
experiment by using this law to help us to measure the corresponding values ofthe variables under different situations and by plotting the graph, the relationship
of the two variables is known easily.
So, after doing this project, I am quite impressed with the usage of linear law and
its ways to help us in solving problems although there are some errors occur.
Besides that, I also learn many things for this law which I can never find them in
the text book or reference book. I am doing many researches to understand its
usage and its principles when we apply this law.
Furthermore, I also able to interpret the relationship between the variables in the
experiments I did easily whether in Physics, Biology or in Chemistry. I am really
appreciating the government as they give us this opportunity to do this project in
the process of understanding and learning deeply into this law. I would also like
to thank my additional mathematics teacher as without his/her help, I am not able
to accomplice this project.
