Chapter 2, Problem 2.53P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The equation A.1-6 should be derived for the slope of the line by using the expression for the vertical distance, di from the ith data point. The expression for should be determined by finding the differentiating the value of a that minimizes this function.

Concept introduction:

Let (x1 ,y1 ),(x2 ,y2 ),........(xn , yn ) to be n data points in a given data set. It is given that a trend line should be drawn through the origin using these data points. The standard format of a line through the origin is y = ax where “a” is the slope and use the method of least square to derive the equation. In addition, when calculating the slope of the line use the vertical distance di from the ith data point (x, yi ) to the line then find the value of a that minimizes this function.

Use the figure below (Figure F01-7-8) to answer this question. Temperature Anomaly (°C) 106 [OSS [ [(4 10% COD -€62 · [(14) -€0.06 Annual mean 15 year mean 1:00:3 130233 1840) Which statement is a correct interpretation of the data depicted in the plot? The mean global temperature has decreased by ~0.9 °C since 1880. O The mean global temperature has increased by ~0.9 °C since 1880. O The mean global temperature has increased by ~1.1 °C since 1880. The mean global temperature has decreased by ~1.1 °C since 1880. The mean global temperature has increased and decreased since 1880 but overall, the temperature has remained constant.
In our chemistry laboratory class, the formula for surface tension given is y=mg/2(pi) x r x f  where y=surface tension, m= mass of the drop, g= gravitational acceleration, pi is 3.1415, r= outer radius of burette, f=correction factor. Now I searched the internet and it says that the unit for surface tension is kg x m/s^2. The problem is I have grams for the mass of the drop and that the outer radius of the burette is in centimeter while the gravitational acceleration is in meter. What will happen is like this: (1 g x 9.8 m/s^2) / 2 (3.1415) x 0.15 cm x 0.74643 (correction factor no unit) As you can see, if I don't cancel m and cm, the unit will be g x cm x m x s^2. However if change the radius of the burette into meter, it will cancel, the unit will be g x s^2 (missing meter).  What can I do to get kg x m/s^2 as the unit for final answer?
