An iron-constantan thermocouple is calibrated by inserting its junction in boiling water (100°C) and measuring a voltage
(a) Find the equation of the line for the measured temperature T as a function of the voltage V and determine the value of the sensitivity a and the reference temperature
(h) Sketch the graph of T as a function of V and clearly indicate both the reference temperature
(c) If the thermocouple is mounted in a chemical reactor and the voltage is observed to go from 10.0 mV to 13.6 mV, what is the change in temperature of the reactor?

- The stopping distance d (in feet) for a car traveling v mph when the driver has a reaction time of t is given by d = 1.5tv + 0.06v². A car is traveling 70 mph. If the driver's reaction time is 0.5 sec, what is the stopping distance? ftarrow_forwardA car moves in a straight line and its odometer readings are plotted against time in Fig. 2-1. Find the instantaneous speed of the car at point A and B, What is the car's average speed? What is the acceleration?arrow_forward3. A plane travelling at an altitude of 20,000 feet passes directly overhead at time t = 0. One minute later, you observe that the angle between the vertical and your line of sight to the plane is 1.14 radians, and that this angle is changing at a rate of 0.38 radians/minute. Calculate the velocity of the airplane in miles per hour.arrow_forward
