Textbook Question
Chapter 14, Problem 10ICA
You are assigned to inspect metal-composite beam trusses for a new bridge being built over a nearby lake. The manufacturer has run a prototype set of 500 beams and conducted strength tests, which you consider to be the baseline case, shown by the solid line in all graphs. Examine the graphs, and explain the changes to the baseline curve observed in the dashed line by choosing a cause from the following list. The strength of the beam is shown on the abscissa.
a. The manufacturer tested 1000 beams instead of 500 beams
b. A reinforcing coating was used on a sample of 500 beams.
c. The manufacturer upgraded processing equipment to lower the variability of the metal-composite strength.

- Experiment #2: Acceleration vs. Mass Link https://phet.colorado.edu/sims/html/forces-and-motion-basics/latest/forces-and-motion-basics_en.html In this lab you will determine the relationship between acceleration and mass. Choose an Applied Force at the beginning, and keep it constant for this entire experiment. Set the friction to zero. This will make your Applied Force equal to the net force. Record data for five different values of Mass. Graph Acceleration vs. Mass. Graph this in Google sheets(you want a line graph - it should only have one line). Make sure that Mass information is used as the x value Make sure that Acceleration information is used as the y value Add a trendline – see what fits best – linear, exponential, polynomial, etc … Add a copy of you graph below the table Applied Force (N) Mass (kg) Acceleration (m/s²)arrow_forward1.

- Hi. I am trying to practice this problem using a checker online, but everytime I recalculate my answer it always says it's incorrect. So far I have calculated and tried to input the following values: 1 hp, 1.01 hp, and 0.8 hp but it always keeps saying they are incorrect. Am I missing a sign change? (Should the answer be negative?) Or am I solving this incorrectly and getting the wrong value each time? Please help show me the correct steps on how to get the correct answer as I am trying to learn this process.
