The vertical displacement v of a cracked slurry infiltrated fiber concrete member at maximum shear stress is given by v = a + bw, where w is the crack width, and a and b are estimated from data to be a = 2.5 ± 0.1 mm and b = 0.05 ± 0.01. Assume that w = 1.2 ± 0.1 mm.a) Estimate v, and find the uncertainty in the estimate.b) Of the uncertainties in w, a, and b, only one has a non-negligible effect on the uncertainty in v. Which one is it?
The owner of a moving company typically has his most experienced manager predict the total number of labor hours that will be required to complete an upcoming move. This approach has proved useful in the past, but the owner has the business objective of developing a more accurate method of predicting labor hours. In a preliminary effort to provide a more accurate method, the owner has decided to use the number of cubic feet moved as the independentvariable and has collected data for 36 moves in which the origin and destination were within the borough of Manhattan in New York City and in which the travel time was an insignificant portionof the hours worked. The intercept for the sample regression line that the owner has computed is -2.37 and the slope is 0.04. If the actual number of labor hours for moving 407 cubic feet is 33.47.
What is the error of prediction?
Hint: Provide answer accurate to 2 decimal places.
The volume VV of a right‑circular cylinder is computed using the values d=3.6 m for the diameter and h=6.7 m for the height. Use the Linear Approximation to estimate the maximum error R in V if each of these values has a possible error of at most 5%.5%. Recall that V=πr^2*h.

According to a study by D. R. Drew†, the average delay D, in seconds, for a car waiting at the stop sign to enter the highway is given by D = eqT − 1 − qT q , where q is the flow rate, or the number of cars per second passing the stop sign on the highway, and T is the critical headway, or the minimum length of time in seconds between cars on the highway that will allow for safe entry. We assume that the critical headway is T = 5 seconds. (a) What is the average delay time if the flow rate is 470 cars per hour (0.13 car per second)? (Round your answer to two decimal places.)sec(b) The service rate s for a stop sign is the number of cars per second that can leave the stop sign. It is related to the delay by s = D−1.

Assume k = 0.29 ± 0.05 mm−1. Given that τ0 = 50 MPa and w = 1.0 mm, both with negligible uncertainty, estimate τ and find the uncertainty in the estimate.arrow_forward
