Sheet 4

1. The document contains 9 measurement problems involving calculating uncertainties from measurement data. Problems involve measuring resistances, power, area, combined resistances, correlation equations, and standard deviation. 2. Measurement data is provided for resistances, voltages/currents, land dimensions, individual resistor values, x and y values to determine correlation equations, and length measurements. 3. Calculations required include determining uncertainties from repeated measurements, calculating power and uncertainty from voltage/current measurements, calculating required measurement precision, combining resistor values in series and parallel with associated uncertainties, using least squares to determine best-fit correlation equations, and calculating standard deviation, mean, and uncertainty from repeated length measurements.

1. The resistance of a resistor is measured 10 times, and the values determined are
100.0,100.9, 99.3, 99.9, 100.1, 100.2, 99.9, 100.1, 100.0, and 100.5. Calculated
uncertainty in the resistance.

2. A certain resistor draws 110.2 V and 5.3 A. The uncertainties in the measurements are
±0.2 V and ±0.06 A, respectively. Calculate the power dissipated in the resistor and the
uncertainty in the power.

3. A small plot of land has measured dimensions of 50.0 by 150.0 ft. The uncertainty in the
50-ft dimension is ±0.01 ft. Calculate the uncertainty with which the 150-ft dimension
must be measured to ensure that the total uncertainty in the area is not greater than 150
percent of that value it would have if the 150-ft dimension were exact.

4. Two resistors R1 and R2 are connected in series and parallel. The values of t resistances are
R1=100.0±0.1Ω
R2 =50.0±0.03 Ω
Calculate the uncertainty in the combined resistance for both the series and parallel
arrangements.

5. A resistance arrangement of 50 Ω is desired. Two resistances of 100.0 ± 0.1 Ω and two


resistances of 25.0 ± 0.02 Ω are available. Which should be used, a series arrangement
with the 25 Ω resistors or a parallel arrangement with the 100 Ω resistors? Calculate the
uncertainty for each arrangement.

6. The following data are taken from a certain heat-transfer test. The expected correlation
