Chapter 17, Problem 28P
An object is suspended in a wind tunnel and the force measured for various levels of wind velocity. The results are tabulated below.
| v, m/s | 10 | 20 | 30 | 40 | 50 | 60 | 70 | 80 |
| F, N | 25 | 70 | 380 | 550 | 610 | 1220 | 830 | 1450 |
Use least-squares regression to fit these data with
(a) A straight line,
(b) A power equation based on log transformations, and
(c) A power model based on nonlinear regression. Display the results graphically.
