a. Determine the mean of probe 1.

b. Determine the median of probe 1.

c. A second probe was tested, yielding a mean of 97 degrees Fahrenheit and a median of 94.5 degrees Fahrenheit. If the data from probe 2 are as shown in the table, determine the missing data point.

d. If a probe has a standard deviation of 10 degrees Fahrenheit. What is the variance of the probe?

A converging elbow (see the figure below) turns water through an angle of 135° in a vertical plane. The flow cross section diameter is 400 mm at the elbow inlet, section (1), and 200 mm at the elbow outlet, section (2). The elbow flow passage volume is 0.2 m³ between sections (1) and (2). The water volume flowrate is 0.1 m³/s and the elbow inlet and outlet pressures are 140 kPa and 90 kPa. The elbow mass is 11 kg. Calculate the (a) horizontal (x direction) and (b) vertical (z direction) anchoring forces required to hold the elbow in place. D₂- Section (1)- D₁ = 400 mm 135° 200 mm Section (2) (a) Fx= i 20809.96 N (b) Fz= i -120265 N
2: A rectangular aluminum block is loaded uniformly in three directions. The loadings are as follows:a 50 kN total resulting compressive load in the x-direction, a 200 kPa uniformly distributed tensile load in they-direction, and a 0.03 MN total resulting tensile load in the z-direction. The block has the following dimensions:L = 1 m, b = 20 cm, h = 350 mm. Use E = 70 GPa and ν = 0.25.Determine the strain in the x and y axes respectively. For the strain in the y-direction to be equal to 0, how much uniformly distributed load inthe surface of y-direction should be added? (+ for tensile, - for compressive)  Answers: 5 -1.122 x10-5 / 3 decimals 6 5.102 x10-6 / 3 decimals 7 -0.357 MPa / 3 decimals
