Textbook Question
Chapter 10, Problem 10.43P
In the problem 10.42, suppose volume can be measured to an uncertainty of 0.010 L and time to an uncertainty of 0.10 s. Estimate the uncertainties in the measured flow rates. Discuss the preferred method for use with different flow rates? Assume 95% confidence.

Kindly answer correctly. PPlease show the necessary steps
Table below shows the test data of the flow velocity (Q) and pressure drop (4P). Knowing that
there is an offset of 0.03 in the flow measurement, the relation between the measured flow velocity and
pressure drop is thus described as Q = avAP + 0.02, find the constant a for the best fit using Least-
Square Method. (You can check your answer using excel, but will get NO point with only a value from
excel without any procedures).
