You are measuring a line with a steel tape that has a standardized length equal to 100.000 feet and a weight of 2.25 lb. Three full tape lengths and one partial length were used when making the measurement, resulting in a recorded length of 389.28 ft. The tape was supported at ends only and a pull of 12 pounds was used. What is the distance after being corrected for sag?

CORRECT ANSWER IS 389.82ft

A steel ruler (100 mm) is used for measuring the length of a block. The ambient temperature is found likely to vary in between 24 °C and 25 °C. The temperature is likely to be anywhere within these limits. The temperature variation follows square distribution, with expected value to be 24.5 °C. Determine the degree of uncertainty that will be registered when measurement is done using steel scale? CTE = 11.5 x 10-6 / °C

A civil engineer used a 30-m tape in measuring an inclined distance. The measured length on the slope was recorded to be 459.20 m long. The difference in elevationbetween the initial and the end point was found to be 1.25 m. The 30-m tape is of standard length at a temperature of 10ºC and a pull of 5 kg. During measurement thetemperature reading was 15ºC and the tape was supported at both ends with an applied pull of 7.5 kg....

A 1.25 lbs. measuring tape became dislodged from the belt of a worker on the 48th floor of a building under construction and fell approximately 460 feet hitting another worker who was delivering materials to the project. The worker who was struck and killed was not wearing a hard hat but had one available in his truck. If we assume a deceleration distance of 4”, what was the force in pounds generated by the measuring tape at impact and what...

This investigation will involve measuring how high people can jump. Use of tools, such as tape measures and rulers, should be considered. 1. Collect data. 2. Calculate the means and the five-number summaries for the entire sample and for each of your categories of the qualitative variable (e.g., for male and for female) and make a chart that presents those statistics. 3. Create comparative boxplots for the different groups (e.g., male and female). 4. Describe where your own jump-height falls...

Steel firms in the Bay Area produce steel which has a demand equal to PMB=100-Q, where Q is measured in tons. The firms have a private marginal cost of production equal to PMC=10+Q/2. This industrial activity releases numerous pollutants, some of which are deposited onto nearby land (like heavy metals), and the marginal external damage inflicted upon neighbors’ land is MD = Q/4. At the market quantity (QM), what is the deadweight loss?

Given: A short cylinder of steel has a diameter of 150 mm and length of 500 mm. It comes out of a heat treatment process at a uniform temperature of 200oC and is plunged into an unstirred bath of oil at a temperature of 20oC.    Find:      Considering heat loss from only the cylindrical surface (ignore the ends), which orientation would cool more quickly? One orientation is for the axis to be parallel to gravity and the other perpendicular to...
