The sensitivity of a measuring instrument is the value of the smallest quantity that can be read or estimated with it. What is t

he smallest part of a centimeter that can be read with the following?
(a) a meterstick with markings at each millimeter.

(b) a digital caliper with a four-digit display

I've got an answer for (a) which was 0.05cm, and tried the following for (b) but none was correct:

0.0001cm, 0.01mm, 0.002mm

Answer:

The smallest part of a millimeter that can be read with a digital caliper with a four digit display is 0.02mm. Thus, it has to be converted to centimetre. So, divide by 10, we then have 0.02/10= *0.002cm* not mm.

A 242-g block is pressed against a spring of force constant 1.62 kN/m until the block compresses the spring 10.0 cm. The spring
hammer [34]

Answer:

a) = 3.94 m

b) = 3.15 m

Explanation:

Given

Mass of the block, m = 242 g

Force constant, k = 1.62 kN/m

Compression of the spring, x = 10 cm

Angle of inclination = 60°

a) if we equate the energy at the bottom of the ramp to the energy at a distance d up the ramp, we have

1/2kx² = mgh where, h = dsinΦ

1/2kx² = mgdsinΦ

1/2 * 1.62*10^3 * 0.1² = 0.242 * 9.8 * dsin 60

1/2 * 16.2 = 2.3716 * d sin 60

d sin 60 = 8.1 / 2.3716

0.866 d = 3.415

d = 3.415 / 0.866

d = 3.94 m

b) net force on the block = mgd sin 60 + µ mgd cos 60

8.1 = d[mg sin 60 + µ mg cos 60]

8.1 = d [0.242 * 9.8 * 0.866 + 0.44 * 0.242 * 9.8 * 0.5]

8.1 = d (2.05 + 0.52)

8.1 = 2.57 d

d = 8.1 / 2.57

d = 3.15 m

What are the 2 main categories of boat hull designs and how does each one function? What are the positives and negatives of each
defon

Answer:

The two main categories of boat hull designs are;

  • Displacement Hull
  • Planning Hull

Explanation:

<u>Displacement Hull</u>

This type of boat hull is designed to displace certain amount of water as it moves. This displacement enable it to insert its body into the water and continue to displace water from its was as it moves. The weight of water displaced is usually equal to the weight of the boat.

Displacement Hull and Speed

Because of the need to displace water from its path to enable it insert itself into the water body for movement, the speed is usually slow compared to planning hull boats.

Displacement Hull Types:

  • Round bottomed hull boat: Their hulls are made to have a round bottom in order to displace water and move smoothly through it. It can move quietly at low speed. How ever, they require complex stabilizer to control them from banking.
  • Multi hull boat: This type of hull design has a large and long beam that make it to be very stable on the water body. They usually have ends pointed downwards for proper insertion and displacement. However, they don't turn easily on small space due to their large beam requirement.

<u>Planning Hull</u>

Planning hull boats are designed to slide very fasly on the water surface with very little or no insertion. They require boat engines that operates at a very high revolution per minute(rpm).

When at rest, that is at zero speed, they behave like displacement hull boats but only a small amount of water is displaced a they are usually lighter.

Planning hull boats can operate in three modes:

  • Displacement mode: This mode is used when planning hull boats move at extremely slow speed. At this mode, they push water side ways as they move.
  • Planning mode: This mode is activated as the speed of the boat increases to enable it glide on the surface of the water.
  • Plowing mode: This mode is reach when the bow of the boat is trusted up and suspended as it slides through the surface of the water at a very high speed

Planning Hull and Speed

The speed of planning hull boats is very high when compared to displacement hull boats. This high speed of operation is powered by high rpm engines to enable it slide on the surface of the water.

Planning Hull Types/Merit and Demerit

  • Flat Bottom Hull: Their hull is flat bottom shaped and has a draft that supports its suspension on water on a stable manner. Suitable for stable water. However, it moves haphazardly on shaky water.
  • Deep Vee Hull: It has a V-shape hull that points towards the water body. Its V-shape makes it glide through rough water surfaces more smoothly than the flat bottom hull. However, it requires more power to operate and easily banks during sharp turning.
