Investigation 4.2: Factors Affecting Viscosity Question How does changing the temperature (°C) of glycerin affect the viscosity s -1 of glycerin (l), when tested by dropping a marble from a constant height into the glycerin (l) and timed with a stopwatch until the marble hits the bottom? Design Independent Variable: The independent variable of this experiment is the temperature (°C) of the glycerin (l). Dependent Variable: The dependent variable of this experiment is the viscosity s -1 of the glycerin (l). Controlled Variable(s): The controlled variable(s) are: the liquid used, the marble used, the distance the marble is dropped, the volume (mL) of glycerin in the graduated cylinder. The liquid used is glycerin. The same marble is used …show more content…
