suppose you measure the density of a material and find it to be 3.1 g/cm3 with an uncertainty of 0.1 g/cm3. (The uncertainty may arise from an uncertainty built into the scale.

From this measurement, what can you claim about the identify of the material?

    I) You want to find the volume of a mtal sphare (Note: the formula for the volume of a sphere is V--πr. where r is the radius of the sphere). You measure the radius of the sphere to be r-2.18 cm, with a measurement uncertainty of± 0.02 cm. What is the volume of the sphere as well as the corresponding uncertainty of the calculated volume? 2) You measure the mass of the same sphere used in qesio, and find that...

    An ethanol-water solution is 40.00% ethanol by mass and has a density of 0.9450 (g/cm3) at 25.00°C. The density of pure ethanol is 0.7850 (g/cm3) and the density of pure water is 0.9970(g/cm3) at this temperature. At these conditions, the partial molar volume of ethanol is 55.00 (cm3/mol) and the partial molar volume of water is 17.5 (cm3/mol). a.

    Problem 1 (About uncertainty in addition and subtraction) You are trying to measure the height of a table using a 30-cm ruler. Since the ruler is not long enough, you do the measurement on 3 steps and you obtain the following results di = 30.0 +0.1 cm dz = 30.0 + 0.1 cm dz = 16.6 + 0.1 cm What is the total height of the table, di + d2 + dz?

    Suppose you measure the radius of the cylinder five times: 3.1 cm, 3.3cm, 3.2 cm, 3.3 cm, and 3.4 cm. the height of the cylinder was: 5.5 cm, 5.5 cm, 5.7 cm, 5.6 cm, and 5.7 cm. (1) find the uncertainty of radius and height. (note: you have to find out the average for the radius and height first along with its uncertainties, alpha =sqrt((sigma(xi-x)^2)/(n-1)) (2) find the percentage uncertainties of radius and height. Also expressed the radius and height...

    A stainless steel ball (radius rsphere = 0.3175 cm, density ρsphere = 7.866 g/cm3) falls through a viscous fluid (density ρfluid = 1.2 g/cm3) and quickly reaches terminal speed v.   You measure the ball’s position as a function of time to find v. The ball is at positions y = 10 cm at time 2.402 and at position y = 5 cm at time 3.26. Calculate the viscosity η of the fluid in units of poise = g/(cm-s), using your...
