Chapter 11: Q9P (page 292)

What, approximately, is the percent uncertainty for a measurement given as\({\bf{1}}{\bf{.57 }}{{\bf{m}}^{\bf{2}}}\)?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The correct answer of percent uncertainty is 0.6%.

Step by step solution

01

Writing the given data

The uncertainty in measurement is defined as the variation of the values that are assigned to a particular quantity.

The data given is\({A_1} = 1.5{\rm{7 }}{{\rm{m}}^2}\).

The uncertainty in measurement is \({A_2} = 0.0{\rm{1 }}{m^2}\).

02

Writing the formula of percent error

The formula of percent error is

\(\Delta A = \frac{{{A_2}}}{{{A_1}}} \times 100\% \) 鈥� (i)

03

Calculating the percent uncertainty

From equation (i), the percent uncertainty is

\(\begin{aligned}{c}\Delta A = \frac{{0.01}}{{1.57}} \times 100\% \\ = 0.6369\% \\ \approx 0.6\% \end{aligned}\).

Thus, the final value of multiplication is 0.6%.

Tall buildings are designed to sway in the wind. In a \({\bf{100}}\;{\bf{km/h}}\) wind, suppose the top of a 110-story building oscillates horizontally with an amplitude of \({\bf{15}}\;{\bf{cm}}\) at its natural frequency, which corresponds to a period of \({\bf{7}}{\bf{.0}}\;{\bf{s}}\). Assuming SHM, find the maximum horizontal velocity and acceleration experienced by an employee as she sits working at her desk located on the top floor. Compare the maximum acceleration (as a percentage) with the acceleration due to gravity.

Multiply \({\bf{3}}{\bf{.079 \times 1}}{{\bf{0}}^{\bf{2}}}{\bf{ m}}\) by \({\bf{0}}{\bf{.068 \times 1}}{{\bf{0}}^{{\bf{ - 1}}}}{\bf{ m}}\),taking into account significant figures.

A bungee jumper with mass 65.0 kg jumps from a high bridge. After arriving at his lowest point, he oscillates up and down, reaching a low point seven more times in 43.0 s. He finally comes to rest 25.0 m below the level of the bridge. Estimate the spring stiffness constant and the unstretched length of the bungee cord assuming SHM.

A sound wave is traveling in warm air when it hits a layer of cold, dense air. If the sound wave hits the cold air interface at an angle of\(25^\circ \), what is the angle of refraction? Assume that the cold air temperature is\( - 15^\circ {\rm{C}}\)and the warm air temperature is\( + 15^\circ {\rm{C}}\). The speed of sound as a function of temperature can be approximated by\(v = \left( {331 + 0.60T} \right)\;{\rm{m/s}}\)where\(T\)is in\(^\circ {\rm{C}}\).
