11. Using the volume(s) you just calculated for regular vs. heavy duty samples as well as your dimensional measurements (length and width in cm) from Part IV of this experiment, calculate the height, or thickness, of each sample of aluminum using the formula V = l x w x h.  In the formula, V stands for volume, l for length, w for width, and h for height. Once again, you will have to use your algebraic skills to manipulate the formula, to solve for height.  You must show all your work. (15 pts)

The goal of the beam project is to design and construct a beam that can hold a given amount of weight without breaking. The beam is required to hold a concentrated load of 375 lbf on the X-axis and 150 lbf on the Y-axis. The maximum allowable weight of the beam is 250 grams. The maximum allowable deflection for the beam is 0.230 in. and 0.200 in. for the X and Y-axis respectively. The beam is required to be 24 in. in length, and it will be tested on a simply supported configuration spanning 21 in. All calculations are to be done under the assumption that the density of basswood is 28 lbm/ft3 and the modulus of elasticity for basswood is 1.46x106 lbm/in2. Given the constraints of a spending cost of $10.50, a maximum beam weight of 250 grams,

This affected the values shown on the balance resulting as rounding off in the machine and giving us inaccurate numbers to work with when making calculations and causing a small percentage error.

2. Lift the spring scale just until the mass is hanging from the scale. Now slowly

Case 3 m1 = _______ x1 = 10 cm m2 = 200 g x2 =_________

12. Weigh the copper skin and record its mass in the table on the bottom of the page.

Write down three sources of experimental error and explain how each one might have affected your final calculated molar mass.

Load acts over outer circumference of on end of the cylinder, while the other end remains against a

First, all the materials were collected. After collecting all the materials was prepared, we started measuring the mass of the beaker and plastic

This report has been written to describe an experiment performed on a channel section examining the stiffness of the beam through two differing types of deformation – curvature and deflection. The aim of the experiment was to determine the value of the flexural rigidity (EI) in two different ways; using the curvature, k, and the mid-span deflection. The testing method used for the experiment is described. The experiment found that the EI values calculated were as follows: - EIcurv = 1.76E+10 Mpa.mm4 when calculated using the curvature, k. - EIdefl

1. Research to find equations that would help you find g using a pendulum. Design an experiment and test your design using Moon and Jupiter. Write your procedure in a paragraph that another student could use to verify your results. Show your data, graphs, and calculations that support your strategy.

In this experiment, we experimented finding the fundamental quantities of length, mass, and time using many laboratory tools. We used a Vernier caliper, stopwatch, rulerm meter stick, wooden block, metal block, Dial-o-gram, different masses, and circular objects. We took into consideration the uncertainties of many different tools and objects into our experiment. The inherent uncertainties of different measurements and ways to propagate those uncertainties were learned during this experiment.

Below are two tables in which I have recorded the data which I obtained during the experiment. The first table reflects the Relationship between the deflection/flexion of the cantilever and the mass of the load and the second table reflects the relationship between the flexion of the cantilever and the length of the cantilever.

The objective of this experiment is to demonstrate the bending of a bean when loaded at the center of its length and examine its deflection when positioned in two different ways, when the flat side of the beam is support and when the thin side is supported. In addition, try to find linear relationship between the load applied and the deflection of the beam and comparing the experimental deflection with the theoretical deflection.
