Performing a single measurement for AB, BC and CA, the values AB = 50.20 mm are read; BC= 55.15 mm and CA= 40.65 mm. Determine the perimeter (P) of the triangle with its uncertainty (uP) and express the result in m. a) P±uP= (0.146000 ± 0.000050) m b) P±uP= (146,000 ± 0.050)x10-2 m c) P±uP= (146.00 ± 0.05)x10-3 m d) P±uP= (0.146 ± 0.050) m e) P±uP= (146.0 ± 0.05) marrow_forward

The following measurements are obtained (in cm): 1.100, 1.110, 1.090, 1.095, and 1.105. The true gauge block thickness is known to be 1.050 cm. Use this information to answer the following questions: a. What errors or sources of measurement error can be identified in the example? (Hint: there are three). Identify each one as a random or systematic uncertainty. b. Estimate the magnitudes of each of these uncertainties. Wherever possible, estimate random uncertainties at a 95% probability/confidence level. c. Based on the uncertainties determined in part b, estimate the overall uncertainty of a measurement obtained by this instrument.arrow_forwardProblem 2. The sides of a thin rectangular block are measured using different digital calipers as 25.00 + 0.05 mm and 17.50 + 0.01 mm. Based on the data, the perimeter of the block is calculated as 85.0 mm by adding the length of the four sides. What is the uncertainty in the perimeter of the block expressed in mm?arrow_forward
- A strain gauge is used to measure the tension force in a 2-cm diameter bar of steel with Young modulus of 2.07 x 107 N/cm2 (30 x 106 lb./in.2). The strain gauge has a nominal resistance of 160 Ω and a GF of 5. The gauge is connected to a bridge supplied with a 10 Vdc. The bridge was initially balanced. After the bar is put under tension, the bridge output voltage is 0.0008 Vdc. Draw the schematic of the bridge (setup). Calculate the force on the bar.arrow_forward(d) Based on the situation below, give one type of error faced by Ali's and give the suggestion how Ali's can make the reading become accurate and precise.

- 4. A proposal for a “Smart" car seat operates by detecting the weight of the passenger and comparing against various thresholds. If the weight of the passenger is below 15 kg, the car would prevent deployment of an air bag in a collision. A standard "passenger" has a weight of >50 kg. The empty seat weighs 25 kG. The weight sensor is constructed with a strain gauge placed in one of the 4 “feet" of the car seat. In this position, it detects exactly 1/4 of the weight of the car seat plus the passenger. It consists of a structure that has a pre-assembly length of 1 cm, and a stiffness of 1,000,000 N/m. A metal film strain gauge with a nominal resistance of 10 kN and a gage factor of 2.0 is attached to this structure so that the weight of the car seat causes tensile strain in the strain gauge that is the same magnitude as the strain in the feet. a) If the unloaded length of the "foot" is 1 cm, what is the length when seat is mounted after the installation?
