Concept explainers

Friction

Friction is defined as the force that prevents any solid surface, any layer of fluid, or any kind of element or material from sliding.

Question

The more times a distance is measured, the estimated error in the mean will become smaller.
True
False

Expert Solution

Step 1

The more times a distance is measured, the estimated error in the mean will become smaller. As the sample size increases it will produce smaller error, so it is true

If the latter measurement is given four times the reliability of the first, determine the most probable value of the measured line 2. In this problem the weight an angle is assumed to be proportional to the number of times it has been measured by repetition. Five angles in a pentagon were measured with the of following results: 134°44’35’’, 167°02'05'’, 86°15’20’’, 75°48’50’’, and 76°08’50’’. If the number of repetitions for each measurement and were 2, 6, 6, 8, and 4, respectively, determine the adjusted values of the angles.
