A strain gauge, diaphragm pressure transducer (accuracy: <0.1% reading) is subjected to a pressure differential of 10 kPa. If the output is measured using a digital voltmeter having a resolution of 10 mV and accuracy of better than 0.1% of the reading, estimate the uncertainty in pressure at the design stage. How does this change at 100 and 1,000 kPa? Assume the static sensitivity of the pressure transducer is 1 V/100 kPa.

The shear modulus, G, of an alloy can be determined by measuring the angular twist, θ,resulting from a torque applied to a cylindrical rod made from the alloy. For a rod of radius Rand a torque applied at a length L from a fixed end, the modulus is found by G=2LT/pR4θ.Examine the effect of the relative uncertainty of each measured variable on the shearmodulus. If during test planning all of the uncertainties are estimated to be 1%, what is theuncertainty in G?
