Answer with Explanation:
Part a)
The volume of water in the tank as a function of time is plotted in the below attached figure.
The vertical intercept of the graph is 46.
Part b)
The vertical intercept represents the volume of water that is initially present in the tank before draining begins.
Part c)
To find the time required to completely drain the tank we calculate the volume of the water in the tank to zero.

Part d)
The horizontal intercept represents the time it takes to empty the tank which as calculated above is 13.143 minutes.
Answer:
<em>The main sources of error in the collection of data are as follows : Due to direct personal interview. Due to indirect oral interviews. Information from correspondents may be misleading.</em>
The correct statement is: a higher than a normal voltage drop could indicate high resistance. Technician B is correct.
<h3>Ohm's law</h3>
Ohm's law states that the current flowing through a metallic conductor is directly proportional to the voltage provided all physical conditions are constant. Mathematically, it is expressed as
V = IR
Where
V is the potential difference
I is the current
R is the resistance
<h3>Technician A</h3>
High resistance causes an increase in current flow
V = IR
Divide both side by I
R = V / I
Thus, technician A is wrong as high resistance suggest low current flow
<h3>Technician B</h3>
Higher than normal voltage drop could indicate high resistance
V = IR
Thus, technician B is correct as high voltage indicates high resistance
<h3>Conclusion </h3>
From the above illustration, we can see that technician B is correct
