Three engineers are independently estimating the spring constant of a spring, using the linear model specified by Hooke’s law. Engineer A measures the length of the spring under loads of 0, 1, 2, 4, and 6 lb, for a total of five measurements. Engineer B uses the same loads, but repeats the experiment twice, for a total of 10 independent measurements. Engineer C uses loads of 0, 2, 4, 8, and 12 lb, measuring once for each load. The engineers all use the same measurement apparatus and procedure. Each engineer computes a 95% confidence interval for the spring consta

You are abducted by aliens and find yourself locked in a large room on some strange planet. To pass the time, you decide to do some experiments using a ball-and-chain that you find on the floor. You make the following estimates: m(BALL) = 7 kg , m(CHAIN) = 0.5 kg , and l(CHAIN) = 2 m . (a) When you hold the free end of the chain above your head and allow the ball to swing like a pendulum, you use your wristwatch to measure the period as T = 4 s . What is the acceleration due to gravity on this planet?(b) If the ball accidentally hits a wall, how long does it take for this jolt in the chain to travel up to your hand?
The force-deflection relation of a steel helical spring used in an engine is found experimentally as F( x) = 200 x + 50 x2 + 10 x3, where the force (F) and deflection (x) are measured in pounds and inches, respectively. If the spring undergoes a steady deflection of 0.5 in. during the operation of the engine, determine the equivalent linear spring constant of the spring at its steady deflection.
You measure the elongation of springs placed on a graduated inclined plane, to which you attach masses. One end of the spring is attached to a hook at the top of the inclined plane and the other end is attached to a mass.The spring is parallel to the plane, and the force it exerts on the mass is also parallel to the plane.The angle of inclination of the plane is known, as well as its uncertainty.There is no friction between the plane and the mass.The natural length of the spring and its uncertainty are known.By hooking a known mass (m ± delta m), you measure that the spring now has a length (L ± delta L).We use the value g=(9.81 ± 0.01)m/s^2 for our calculations. Build a model to find the spring constant of the spring (with its uncertainty) given the known parameters. Then test your model with the following values: Plane tilt angle: (11.4 ± 0.2) degrees Natural spring length: (0.145 ± 0.001) m Attached mass: (0.15 ± 0.001) kg Spring length with a mass attached: (0.17 ± 0.002) m
To measure the density of a stone, a digital scale and a beaker cup filled with water are used. The balance is used to measure the mass of the stone, while the beaker is used to measure the volume of the stone. It is known that the digital balance has a resolution of 0.1 g and that the beaker cup has a resolution of 5 ml. Repeated mass measurements return the following values: 250.0 g; 249.9 g; 250.3 g; 249.6g; 250.1 g; 249.7g; 250.4 g; 250.0 g; 248.8 g; 250.2 g The volume is measured only once. Placing the stone in the beaker, a volume of displaced water equal to 50 ml is measured. Using a k=2.5, check if the density of the stone is compatible or out of line with the value ρ = (4910 ± 65) kg.m-3 (a) none of the above (b) the values are compatible (c) missing data to perform the compatibility test (d) the values are discrepant

It is impossible to construct a device that operating in a cycle will produce no effect other than the transfer of heat from a cooler to a hotter body.
Pierce (1948) mechanically measured the frequency (the number of wing vibrations per second) of chirps (or pulses of sound) made by a striped ground cricket, at various ground temperatures. Since crickets are ectotherms (cold-blooded), the rate of their philosophical processes and their overall metabolism are influenced by temperature. Consequently, there is a reason to believe that temperature would have a profound affect on aspects of their behavior, such as chirp frequency. In general, it was found that crickets did not sing at temperatures colder than 60°F or warmer than 100°F. In the following data let X= chirps/sec for the striped ground cricket and Y= temperature in degrees of Fahrenheit.
