viscosity. These data are summarized in the following table:
Avg. measurement

Ns
What is the dynamic viscosity? Give dynamic viscosity in units of; which is the same as
ms
2. Determine the absolute and relative uncertainties in the dynamic viscosity.
3. Examine your data in Data Table 2 and in Data Table 3. For the data with the smallest percentage
difference, compare the total energy at each point. Calculate the sum U₁+Ug at x₁ as ½kx-mgx₁.
Calculate that sum at x₂ as ½kx²-mgx₂. Do you expect them to agree reasonably well? Explain why
they should or should not be the same.
4. Consider the same data as used in Question 3. Calculate the value of x halfway between x₁ and x₂.
Calculate U₁+Ug=½kx² − mgx_for_that point. Do you expect them to agree with the energy
calculated in Question 3? If they agree reasonably well, explain why they do. If they do not agree,
explain why they do not agree.

- The heat transfer conducted through material is calculated from the equation: Q = KX AXTD/L Where K: Conductivity of material A: Area of heat transfer TD: Temperature difference across material L: Thickness of material A student measures the area, thickness and temperature difference and assumes that the error in conductivity is negligible. The student also estimates the uncertainty range for each variable. In estimating the maximum possible value of Q, the student should use the following formula: A B Q max= K x A max x TD max / L max Q max= K x A max x TD max / L nom Q max= Q nominal + dQ/dLmin Q max= K x A max x TD max / L minarrow_forwardThe 7-distribution is used to estimate a population mean for large samples if the population standard deviation is known.

The difference between the static pressure sockets on the surface and the static pressure of the free stream is measured. 30 data is taken at each measurement point. The average of the values measured from one of the sockets near the trailing edge was calculated as 2.30 Pa, and the standard deviation was calculated as 2.65 Pa. After applying the Chauvenet criterion to these measurement values, it was decided to eliminate 3 measurements and the new mean value was found to be 2.18 Pa and the standard deviation was 2.42. It was verified that the unexcluded data fit the normal distribution curve. Data above how many Pa and below how many Pa were eliminated? Estimate how many data have negative value (?<0) after elimination.arrow_forward
