In the shapes and fluid forces lab, you dropped different shapes in the fluid. what was the dependent variable that you observed and recorded

Answer is: Settling time.

Settling is the process by which substances (in this example with different shape) settle to the bottom of the fluid.

The two main variables in an experiment are the independent and dependent variable.

Dependent variable is the variable being tested and measured in a scientific experiment.

Dependent variables depend on the values of independent variables. The dependent variables represent the output or outcome whose variation is being studied.

the positions which points up in upward carbon and down in downward carbon are axial

and vice versa holds true for equatorial positions

so the correct answer with labelled diagram will be
