The steps for performing the experiment are:
- Measure the length of the board.
- Secure a piece of plain paper to the stand as shown in the figure, with the bottom edge touching the table.
- Place the first block on the board.
- Ensure one end of the board is stable by resting it on a support (e.g., a stack of books).
- Slowly lift the other end of the board.
- Note the height at which the block begins to slide and mark this point on the paper.
- Measure the distance (h1) on the paper from the bottom edge to the mark.
- Repeat the measurement three times.
- Repeat the entire procedure with the second block and measure the distance (h2).
