ABSTRACT The aim of this experiment is to study the friction loss along a pipe. In this experiment‚ water and mercury have been used to demonstrate the law of resistance with different types of flow which are laminar and turbulent flow.

In the end of the experiment‚ the law of resistance which is the relationship between i and u will be determined and hence established the critical R and friction
