The level of liquid helium (temperature = 4 K) in its storage tank can be monitored using a vertically aligned niobium- titanium (NbTi) wire, whose length l spans the height of the tank. In this level-sensing setup, an electronic circuit Constant I maintains a constant electrical current I at all times in the Helium NbTi wire and a voltmeter monitors the voltage differ- ence V across this wire. Since the superconducting critical temperature for NbTi is 10 K, the portion of the wire immersed in the liquid helium is in the superconducting state, while the portion above the liquid (in helium vapor with temperature above 10 K) is in the normal state. Define f = x/l to be the fraction of the tank filled with liquid helium (Fig. 18–38) and Vo to be the value of V when the tank is empty (f = 0).

Power Rating of a Resistor. The power rating of a resistor is the maximum power the resistor can safely dissipate without too great a rise in temperature and hence damage to the resistor.

In a certain article, laser therapy was discussed as a useful alternative to drugs in pain management of chronically ill patients. To measure pain threshold, a machine was used that delivered low-voltage direct current to different parts of the body (wrist, neck, and back). The machine measured current in milliamperes (mA). The pretreatment experimental group in the study had an average threshold of pain (pain was first detectable) at ? = 3.19 mA with standard deviation ? = 1.03 mA. Assume that the distribution of threshold pain, measured in milliamperes, is symmetric and more or less mound-shaped. (Round your answers to two decimal places.)
