Question

a) Calculate the total uncertainty for each variable involved in the calculation: A, U, and p.

The drag force on this skydiver can be calculated by the expression for the drag coefficient:

CD = D/((1/2)*pU2A)

The Drag Coefficient, CD, is estimated at 1.2 ± 0.1

A, is measured by a camera with image processing. The camera is about ±10% accurate. Measurements for A are Given.

Measurements for wind speed, U, were found with an anemometer

The temperature of air at was measured with a thermocouple with an uncertainty of  ±2K. temperature is 300k

 

A (m2) U (m/s)+
0.651 40.8
0.649 41.0
0.655 40.4
0.654 40.2
0.650 38.9
0.648 39.5
0.645 39.1
0.649 40.6

Anemometer Specs:

Measurement Accuracy for air speed: ±(2% + 0.2m/s), ±(2% + 0.8 km/hr), ±(2% 0.4mph), ±(2% + 0.4 knots), ±(2% +40ft/min)

Measurement resolution for air speed: 0.1ms, 0.1km/hr, 0.1mph, 0.1 knots, 1.0ft/min
