What should be the surface tension of a liquid if its density, which is 1.44
g/cc, is the same as that of the calibrating liquid? The displacements of
the liquid and the calibrating liquid inside the capillary tube are both 0.5
cm. The surface tension of the calibrating liquid is 29.4509 dynes/cm.
The transducer specified in Table 1.1 is chosen to measurea nominal pressure of 500 cm H2O. The ambient temperature is expected to vary between 18 ∘C and 25 ∘C duringtests. Estimate the possible range (magnitude) of each listedelemental error affecting the measured pressure.
How do I calculate the sensitivity error?
The solution that was given:
Sensitivity error(eK)
= (±0.0025)(500 cm H2O)= ± 0.75 cm H2O
= ± 0.00375 V
My Question is, how do you obtain 0.75 since 0.0025 x 500 gives 1.25!
please help. thanks

- To measure the density of a stone, a digital scale and a beaker cup filled with water are used. The balance is used to measure the mass of the stone, while the beaker is used to measure the volume of the stone. It is known that the digital balance has a resolution of 0.1 g and that the beaker cup has a resolution of 5 ml. Repeated mass measurements return the following values: 250.0 g; 249.9 g; 250.3 g; 249.6g; 250.1 g; 249.7g; 250.4 g; 250.0 g; 248.8 g; 250.2 g The volume is measured only once. Placing the stone in the beaker, a volume of displaced water equal to 50 ml is measured. Using a k=2.5, check if the density of the stone is compatible or out of line with the value ρ = (4910 ± 65) kg.m-3 (a) none of the above (b) the values are compatible (c) missing data to perform the compatibility test (d) the values are discrepantarrow_forwardA 100 mm by 50 mm Venturi meter is installed in a 100 mm diameter pipe to measure the flow of a certain liquid (sp gr 1.20).

- Q1:The volume of a liquid is calculated by allowing the liquid to flow into a cylindrical tank (stood on its flat end) and measuring the height of the liquid surface before and after the liquid is given by: V= n (h, - h,) (d/2)? ,If h, = 2m, h,= 3m andd = 2m with error 1% for each , what is the uncertainty of 1 * ? volumearrow_forwardA Pitot tube uses a manometer readout with a fluid having a specific gravity of 0.82. The tube is oriented parallel to an airstream at 1 atm, 25°C, having a velocity of 30 m/s. The accuracy of the dynamic pressure measurement is ±0.1 mm of the height of the manometer fluid. The static pressure is assumed exact, but the static temperature has an uncertainty of ±1.2°C. Assuming that the nominal value of the velocity is the value of 30 m/s, calculate the uncertainty in its determination.arrow_forwardWe 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…arrow_forward
