Chapter 17, Problem 19ICA
Joule’s first law, also known as the Joule effect, relates the heat generated to current flowing in a conductor. It is named for James Prescott Joule, the same person for whom the unit of the joule is named. Create a proper plot of the experimental data.

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?
In an experiment designed to determine the value of a parameter n, the actual value that is determined during the experiment is ln n which is determined to be ln n = –1.17828±0.07023.
