- The width of a rectangular piece of land is measured to be 48.25ft,if the measurement has a relative error of T of at most 2%,then what is an upper bound for the absolute error? Suppose the ambient temperature is A = 76.2° ± 0.4°F. In what interval does the true temperature lie?arrow_forwardA hydrologist needs to estimate the volume of the water in the approximately circular well as illustrated in Figure 2. The diameters of the well were measured every 5 meter as listed in Table 1. Use the Simpson's Rule to estimate the volume of the water in the well. 3.

Determine the overall resistance of a 100-meter length of 14 AWA (0.163 cm diameter) wire made of the following materials. a. copper (resistivity = 1.67x10* Q•m) b. silver (resistivity = 1.59x10 Q•m) c. aluminum (resistivity = 2.65x10* Q•m) d. iron (resistivity = 9.71x10* Q•m)arrow_forwardA circle in the XY-coordinate system is specified by the center coordinates (x, y) and radius (r). Read the values for 2 circles- x1, y1, r1 for C1 and x2, y2, r2 for C2. (i) Determine whether the 2 circles intersect. To solve the problem it suffices to check if the distance between the 2 centers is lesser than the sum of radii of the 2 circles. (ii) Find the smallest circle that encloses the two circles and return its center coordinates and radius. programming language - carrow_forward: Growth data of a sunflower plant is given in the following table: Day 7 21 35 49 63 77 91 Height (in.) 8.5 21 50 77 89 98 99 (a) Curve-fit the data with a third-order polynomial.

- The liquid-liquid extraction process carried out at the Electrochemical Materials Laboratory involves the extraction of nickel (Ni) from the liquid phase into an organic phase. Data from laboratory experiments are given in the table below. Ni phase cair, a (gr/l) 2 2,5 3 Ni phase organik, g (gr/l) 8,57 10 12 Assume that a is the amount of Ni in the liquid phase, and g is the amount of Ni in the organic phase.

P = Where A is the voltage generated and R is the total resistance given as 2000 Q. Write a MATLAB/OCTAVE script to store the voltage data from the table as a single matrix, where the days represent the rows and the referenced times represent the columns of the matrix. Hence, in the same script, Calculate the power generated at each day and referenced time. i) ii) Compute and output the overall maximum power generated. Finally, compute and output the days and referenced times where the power generated exceeds 1.0 mW (Tips: You may want to use a nested loop OR the in-built MATLAB/OCTAVE function called 'find' here) iii)arrow_forward
