Chapter 13, Problem 2RQ
An environmental engineer has obtained a bacteria culture from a municipal water sample and allowed the bacteria to grow.
- a. Show the resulting data and trendline, with equation and R2 value, on the appropriate graph type (xy scatter, semilog, or log–log) to make the data appear linear.
- b. Assume the value of m in the resulting model is the growth constant. Use the trendline determined to find the value and units of the growth constant for these bacteria.

- An elastic bar of length L = 1m and cross section A = 1cm2 spins with angular velocity ω about an axis, as shown in the figure below.

A mass M = 1kg is attached to the right end of the bar. Due to the radial acceleration, the bar stretches along x with displacement function u(x).
