Solve the following problems by your hand-writing and upload the pdf file
Problem-1:
A Pitot Tube is mounted on an aircraft to measure its speed. When cruising
at an altitude of 10 km with ambient pressure of 26.4 kPa and the
temperature of – 50oC, the mercury manometer connected to the Pitot
Tube produces 27.5 cm deflection. Calculate the speed of the aircraft in
km/h?
Problem-2:
A mechanical brake-type dynamometer is coupled with an electric motor
which is running at 1500 rpm in order to measure the mechanical power
output of the motor. If the braking force on the rotating drum of the
dynamometer is measured as 10 kg at a distance 150 cm from the drum
axis, what will be the mechanical power in kW?
Problem-3:
𝐿
Electrical resistance 𝑅 of a wire is given by 𝑅 = 𝜖 .
𝐴
In a measurement setup, it is given that 𝜖 = 100 Ω. 𝑚, 𝐿 = 10 ± 0.1 𝑐𝑚
and 𝐴 = 1.0 𝑐𝑚2 ± 2%
Estimate the uncertainty in resistance measurement.
Problem-4:
In an experiment to measure the velocity of a certain object, the total
distance travelled by the object is measured as 100.0 ± 0.2 meters and the
total time taken is measured as 15.5 ± 0.1 seconds. Calculate the
uncertainty in the velocity measurement.
Problem-5:
Estimate the nominal value and uncertainly of density using the following
data: 𝑅 = 287 𝐽/ 𝑘𝑔 − 𝑘, 𝑝 = 125 𝑘𝑃𝑎 + 1%, and 𝑇 = 30 ± 0.5°𝐶.
