Concept explainers

The word “unitary” comes from the word “unit”, which means a single and complete entity. In this method, we find the value of a unit product from the given number of products, and then we solve for the other number of products.

Speed, Time, and Distance

Imagine you and 3 of your friends are planning to go to the playground at 6 in the evening. Your house is one mile away from the playground and one of your friends named Jim must start at 5 pm to reach the playground by walk. The other two friends are 3 …

Profit and Loss

The amount earned or lost on the sale of one or more items is referred to as the profit or loss on that item.

Units and Measurements

Measurements and comparisons are the foundation of science and engineering. We, therefore, need rules that tell us how things are measured and compared. For these measurements and comparisons, we perform certain experiments, and we will need the experime…

Textbook Question

Chapter 6, Problem 26P

Body mass index (BMI) is a measure of obesity. In standard units, it is calculated by the formula

B M I = 703 W H 2

where W is weight in pounds, and H is height in inches. The obesity classification is:

BMI	Classification
Below 18.5	Underweight
18.5 to 24.9	Normal
25 to 29.9	Overweight
30 and above	Obese

Write a program in a script file that calculates the BMI of a person. The program asks the person to enter his or her weight (lb) and height (in.). The program displays the result in a sentence that reads: “Your BMI value is XXX, which classifies you as SSSS.” where XXX is the BMI value rounded to the nearest tenth, and SSSS is the corresponding classification. Use the program for determining the obesity of the following two individuals:

(a) A person 6 ft 2 in. tall with a weight of 180 lb.

(b) A person 5 ft 1 in. tall with a weight of 150 lb.

S) We measured the current that appeared on the plotted screen as shown in the figure by means of three different ammeters connected in a row, the first of the de Ersteval type, the second of the moving iron type, and the third of the type equipped with a rectifier bridge. Find the reading of each scale, then find the percentage of error in the measurement if the scales are for measuring sine values النيار MA AM الزمن t

Conclusion 1. Describe the difference between standard deviation and population standard deviation? Describe a scenario in which you would use each by given an example in electrical measurement and instrumentation. 2. How do the statistics that you calculated using engineering and IT tools compare to the statistics that you calculated by hand? 3. Explain how modern engineering and IT is important in measurement and testing of electrical devices.

What will be the result if the difference between true value and measured value decreasing in the measurement system? O a. The accuracy is observed to be constant O b. The accuracy is observed to be increasing O C. The accuracy is observed to be decreasing Od. The accuracy is observed to be infinite 40 ENG Type here to se.
