ME 3603 Spring 2024 Practice Problem Set 03 Work the following problems in your textbook: 4.30 (also calculate the 95 % confidence intervals of the slope and y-intercept) 4.32 4.33(a),(b) 4.34 4.39 5.4 5.6 5.9 5.19 …and the following problems: SP 4.6) A manufacturer of general aircraft dry vacuum pumps wishes to estimate the mean failure time of its product at 95% confidence. Initially, six pumps are tested to failure with these results (in hours of operation): 1272, 1384, 1543, 1465, 1250, 1319. Estimate the sample mean and the 95 % confidence interval of the true mean. How many more data points would be needed to improve the confidence interval to be within ±50 hours? SP 4.7) The force on a spring was measured as the spring was elongated. The data are shown. 𝒙 (𝒊𝒏) 7 18 27 32 38 48 57 61 𝑭 (𝒍𝒃 𝒇 ) 69.9 133.6 145.1 168.9 204.5 236.2 317.4 319.1 Calculate the spring constant 𝑘 and its 95 % confidence interval based on these measurements. (Continued on next page)
Challenge: SP 4.8) Using an ammeter and a wattmeter, you measure the power usage of a device at different operating conditions (data shown below). Theoretically, you expect these values to follow a power law, 𝑃𝑜𝑤𝑒𝑟 = ?𝐼 𝑏 , where 𝐼 is the current in amps and ? and ? are coefficients. Current (𝑨) Power (𝑾) 0.10 53 0.20 205 0.30 448 0.40 810 0.50 1263 0.60 1799 0.70 2465 0.80 3210 0.90 4076 a) Find the coefficients ? and ? by first linearizing the power law equation, then performing a linear regression. b) Find the coefficients ? and ? by plotting the data in Excel and adding a Power law trendline. Compare these to your results from part (a). Bonus Brainteaser: B 4.1) Using a well-calibrated digital scale with a resolution of 0.1 𝑘𝑔 , you weigh an object three times. Each time, it displays 10.3 𝑘𝑔 . What is the 99 % confidence interval of the true weight based on these three measurements (assume a normal distribution)?
SP 5.1) You find an old digital scale in the lab, and want to know if is still accurate. You run a calibration test by weighing a set of precision standardized weights you have in the lab. You decide to measure each weight multiple times (results below) to test the repeatability of the instrument. The scale indicates an operating range of up to 5 lb, and displays weights with a resolution of 0.01 lb. Calibrated weight Scale readings (lb) 0 lb (empty) 1 0.00 2 0.01 3 0.00 4 0.00 0.1000 lb ± 0.0005 lb 1 0.08 2 0.09 3 0.07 4 0.11 5 0.10 6 0.10 1.0000 lb ± 0.0025 lb 1 0.91 2 0.98 3 0.89 4 0.91 5 0.90 6 1.00 5.0000 lb ± 0.0050 lb 1 4.81 2 4.90 3 4.72 4 4.84 5 4.81 6 4.82 7 5.00 8 4.88 For each of the four nominal weights, estimate: a) The random uncertainty (use 95 % confidence) b) The systematic uncertainty/error* c) The design-stage uncertainty d) Based on your answers to the above, what is the overall maximum expected uncertainty (with 95 % confidence)? What is this in terms of a percentage of the full scale output? *Hint: Treat the known weights as the exact values (can you justify this?). SP 5.2) You and two other labs are measuring stock parts for comparison. You (Lab A) measure the diameter of the part at five locations using a pair of calipers with an analog readout (resolution 0.001”) and a stated accuracy of 0.002”. Your readings are: Lab A readings (in.) 2.038 2.031 2.023 2.041 2.030 Lab B and Lab C both use calipers with a stated accuracy of 0.01 cm (including resolution error). They measure the diameter at three and four locations, respectively: Lab B readings (cm) 5.15 5.14 5.13 - Lab C readings (cm) 5.11 5.12 5.10 5.11 a) Using a 95 % confidence level, present the average diameter of all three parts. b) Using a 95 % confidence level, answer the following questions: i. Is Lab A’s part thicker than Lab B’s? …thinner than Lab B’s? ii. Is Lab A’s part thicker than Lab C’s? …thinner than Lab C’s? iii. Is Lab B’s part thicker than Lab C’s? ..thinner than Lab C’s?
