A
color
ed dye is supplied with the apparatus, which can be added to the water to help observation during
experimentation. It should only be necessary to add small amounts of dye (one or two capfuls) to produce
suitable
coloring.
The apparatus should be cleaned regularly using soapy water. When cleaning, care should be taken to ensure
that no
traces of grit or any hard abrasive materials are present on the cloth used. Do not use any materials containing
man-made
fibers as these will scratch the Perspex.

Set up the equipment as previously described in Section 1.2, and affix the weight hanger to the hanger
support located
on the top left of the hopper. The apparatus will now require trimming in order to bring the submerged
plane to the
vertical (i.e. 0 position). This is achieved by gently pouring water into the trim tank until the desired
position is achieved.
The horizontal line on the tank assembly should be read against 'the zero line on the back scale.
Add a 20 g weight to the weight hanger. Pour water, with dye added if necessary, into the quadrant tank
until a 0 balance
is restored. Note the weight and the height reading of the water (h). Repeat the procedure for the full range
of weights.
Empty both tanks of water. Again, with the weight hanger alone in position, trim the assembly by gently
adding water
to the trim tank until a 30 balance is achieved. Add a 20 g weight, restore balance to 30 point and record
values for h
for the full range of weights.
Readings may be tabulated in the form outlined in Table 1 and the results calculated in line with the theory
given in
Section 2.

Storage:
Care should be taken ill storing and handling the material. It is good
general practice to store in full, tightly sealed containers away from
sources of heat and extremes of temperature in a strictly no smoking area.
Containers should never be stored ill direct sunlight.
This product will stain skin and clothing.
Avoid contact with skin and eyes by wearing suitable protective clothing, PVC
gloves and eye protection. Normal standards of hygiene and regular washing
with water should also prevent irritation.
Do not ingest the undiluted color only use at the recommended dose rate. If
accidentally swallowed rinse mouth with water and seek medical advice. If
accidentally splashed into eyes irrigate with plenty of water for at least
ten minutes.
The handling area should be well ventilated and sound hygiene practice should
be adopted at all times in keeping with the handling of any foodstuff
ingredient.
Spillage
Contain the spillage with an inert material such as sand or earth and remove
into a suitable container. Wash the- contaminated area with detergent and
water. Any waste material should be disposed of in compliance with the UK
Control of Pollution Act 1974.
