Chapter 14, Problem 13ICA
Use the scenario described in the previous Problem tested by the probe tested by the data shown in the graph.
a. Which probe has the lowest standard deviation?
b. Which probe was tested 10 times instead of 20 times?
c. During the testing of one probe, you suspect your assistant of using chloroform (which boils at 61 degrees Celsius) instead of ethanol. Which probe did your assistant incorrectly test?
d. If you could choose between probes C and F, which probe would you choose to use? In a single sentence describe how you would use the probe to ensure you determine the correct boiling point.

- Question 2 You are a biomedical engineer working for a small orthopaedic firm that fabricates rectangular shaped fracture fixation plates from titanium alloy (model = "Ti Fix-It") materials. A recent clinical report documents some problems with the plates implanted into fractured limbs. Specifically, some plates have become permanently bent while patients are in rehab and doing partial weight bearing activities. Your boss asks you to review the technical report that was generated by the previous test engineer (whose job you now have!) and used to verify the design. The brief report states the following... "Ti Fix-It plates were manufactured from Ti-6Al-4V (grade 5) and machined into solid 150 mm long beams with a 4 mm thick and 15 mm wide cross section. Each Ti Fix-It plate was loaded in equilibrium in a 4-point bending test (set-up configuration is provided in drawing below), with an applied load of 1000N. The maximum stress in this set-up was less than the yield stress for the…arrow_forwardNewton's Law of cooling states that the rate at which heat is lost by a heated body is proportional to the difference in temperature between the body and the surrounding medium.

You are launching water balloons at a rival team using a large slingshot. The other team is set up on the opposite side of a flat-topped building that is 30.0 ft tall and 50.0 ft wide. Your reconnaissance team has reported that the opposition is set up 10.0 m from the wall of the building. Your balloon launcher is calibrated for launch speeds that can reach as high as 100 mph at angles between 0 and 85.0° from the horizontal. Since a direct shot is not possible (the opposing team is on the opposite side of the building), you plan to splash the other team by making a balloon explode on the ground near them. If your launcher is located 55.0 m from the building (opposite side as the opposing team), what should your launch velocity be ((a) magnitude and (b) direction) to land a balloon 5.0 meters beyond the opposing team with maximum impact (i.e. maximum vertical speed)?

- Question 1: Sally's pet lizard makes a weird groaning noise every couple of seconds. She notices that the number of groans per minute is very regular, but increases as the temperature increases. Further observations reveal that the number of groans per minute actually has a linear relationship with temperature over the normal range of temperatures in the lizard's natural environment. So she decides to make use of her lizard as a thermometer. Sally measures that the number of groans per minute at 10.0°C is 12, and the number of groans per minute at 45.0°C is 31. If she measures that the number of groans per minute in the lizard's usual aquarium is 24, what is the temperature in the aquarium, in degrees Celcius? You can check your answer using the Mastering Physics assignment. Math tip: A linear relationship between two quantities X and Y, means that for a change in X (which we usually call AX), the change in Y is given by AY = m AX, where m is some constant. In the range of X where this…arrow_forwardThe discrimination of a steel rule scale is determined by the spacing between each graduation True/False (select one answer) O True O Falsearrow_forwardMatch the following statements with the term that best describes each statement. hooks law creep impact strength proportional limit fatigue elasticarrow_forward
