Your supervisor has assigned you the task of designing a set of measuring spoons with a “futuristic” shape. After considerable effort, you have come up with two geometric shapes that you believe are really interesting.
You make prototypes of five spoons for each shape with different depths and measure the volume each will hold. The following table shows the data you collected.
Create a proper plot of the data. Use polyflt to determine power models for each data set. For each model, add the trendline and the associated trend line equation to the graph. Use an appropriate location for the equations to clearly associate them with the correct trendline.
Use your models to determine the depths of a set of measuring spoons comprising the following volumes for each of the two designs. V = [¼ tsp, ½ tsp, ¾ tsp, + tsp, + Tbsp]. NOTE: + Tbsp = 3 tsp
Print the results to the Command Window in a table similar to the following format.

Thinking Like an Engineer: An Active Learning Approach (3rd Edition)
- You are a biomedical engineer working for a small orthopaedic firm that fabricates rectangular shaped fracture fixation plates from titanium alloy (model = "Ti Fix-It") materials. A recent clinical report documents some problems with the plates implanted into fractured limbs. Specifically, some plates have become permanently bent while patients are in rehab and doing partial weight bearing activities. Your boss asks you to review the technical report that was generated by the previous test engineer (whose job you now have!) and used to verify the design. The brief report states the following... "Ti Fix-It plates were manufactured from Ti-6Al-4V (grade 5) and machined into solid 150 mm long beams with a 4 mm thick and 15 mm wide cross section. Each Ti Fix-It plate was loaded in equilibrium in a 4-point bending test (set-up configuration is provided in drawing below), with an applied load of 1000N. The maximum stress in this set-up was less than the yield stress for the Ti-6Al-4V…arrow_forwardusing the sine bar technique, find the value of the angle for the given data: the stacked height was composed of the following values, 30, 20, 5, 2 and 1.1 mm.

- For Questions 3 and 4: A cup of water was heated to a temperature of 90°. It was placed in a refrigerator that had a temperature of 11°C. The water cooled to a temperature of 17°C in 30 minutes. Let the following variables represent the relevant quantities. L = Temperature of the liquid S= Temperature of the surroundings t = Time B = Initial temperature of the liquid (Temperature at t = 0 k = Cooling constant 3. Using the Equation Solver, find the value of k in the equation L = (B - S)e -kt + S.

The pipe is covered with 3-cm-thick glass wool insulation with k = 0.05 W/m. °C. Heat is lost to surroundings at T2 = 5 °C by natural convection and radiation, with a combined heat transfer coefficient of h₂ = 18 W/m². °C. Taking the heat transfer coefficient inside the pipe to be h₁ = 60 W/m². °C, determine the temperature drops across the pipe and the insulation. The determination is based on a unit length of the pipe (L = 1 m). Assumptions 1. Heat transfer is one-dimensional since there is no indication of any change with time. 2. Heat transfer is one-dimensional since there is thermal symmetry about the centreline and no variation in the axial direction. 3. Thermal conductivities are constant. 4.
