In the case surface is considered smooth if the Ra value is equal or less than 0.1m. From the result of these experiment‚ we can say that different of the theoretical data and experimental value is very large. This is happen because value of n is not big enough to get accurate result. In this experiment we only that n=5 that’s make the huge different
