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?

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.
