Chapter 5, Problem 5.37P
The density of a metal composite is to be determined from the mass of a cylindrical ingot. The volume of the ingot is determined from diameter and length measurements. It is estimated that mass m can be determined to within 0.1 lbm using an available balance scale; length L can be determined to within 0.05 in. and diameter I) to within 0.0(X)5 in. Instrumentation for each variable has a known calibration systematic uncertainty of 1% of its reading. Estimate the design-stage uncertainty in the determination of the density. Which measurement contributes most to the uncertainty in the density? Which measurement method should be improved first if the uncertainty in density is unacceptable? Use the nominal values of m = 4.5 lbm. L = 6 in., and D = 4 in. (Note: 1 lbm = 0.4535 kg; 1 inch = 0.0254 m.)

a) The mass of a test specimen of metal alloy is measured to be m = 674.4 g. The procedure has a standard uncertainty of 1.0 g.
The volume of the specimen is measured to be V = 261.1 mL with an estimated standard uncertainty of 0.1 mL. Estimate the
density of the specimen and its uncertainty.
b) Determine the relative uncertainty in the calculated volume of a cylinder if its height h can be measured with a standard
uncertainty to within 2% and its radius R can be measured with a standard uncertainty within 1%.
We wish to measure a characteristic of a machined part whose nominal size is 50 mm at 20 °C. For this, two different instruments are used; an analog micrometer and a digital vernier caliper, both recently calibrated and with the same resolution (0.01 mm). The calibration certificate data of the analog micrometer and the digital vernier are shown in tables 5 and 6 respectively. In both cases the calibration uncertainty does not include the contribution of resolution uncertainty. Additionally, there are drift studies for both instruments and it is established that the drift of the micrometer is ± 0.002 mm while the drift of the vernier is ± 0.02 mm.
The same number of measurements were performed with both instruments to avoid repeatability biases under controlled environmental conditions. Table 7 shows the results of the measurements of both instruments. The temperature of the piece was monitored with a digital thermometer whose calibration uncertainty is 0.1 °C, which already includes…

The difference between the static pressure sockets on the surface and the static pressure of the free stream is measured. 30 data is taken at each measurement point. The average of the values measured from one of the sockets near the trailing edge was calculated as 2.30 Pa, and the standard deviation was calculated as 2.65 Pa. After applying the Chauvenet criterion to these measurement values, it was decided to eliminate 3 measurements and the new mean value was found to be 2.18 Pa and the standard deviation was 2.42. It was verified that the unexcluded data fit the normal distribution curve. Data above how many Pa and below how many Pa were eliminated?
