Answer:
Systematic error can be corrected using calibration of the measurement instrument, while random error can be corrected using an average measurement from a set of measurements.
Explanation:
Random errors lead to fluctuations around the true value as a result of difficulty taking measurements, whereas systematic errors lead to predictable and consistent departures from the true value due to problems with the calibration of your equipment.
Systematic error can be corrected, by calibration of the measurement instrument. Calibration is simply a procedure where the result of measurement recorded by an instrument is compared with the measurement result of a standard value.
Random error can be corrected using an average measurement from a set of measurements or by Increasing sample size.
Answer:
Only the perpendicular component of gravity is responsible for the rotation because wind points toward the pivot.
Explanation:
' W ' is the symbol for 'Watt' ... the unit of power equal to 1 joule/second.
That's all the physics we need to know to answer this question.
The rest is just arithmetic.
(60 joules/sec) · (30 days) · (8 hours/day) · (3600 sec/hour)
= (60 · 30 · 8 · 3600) (joule · day · hour · sec) / (sec · day · hour)
= 51,840,000 joules

Wait a minute ! Hold up ! Hee haw ! Whoa !
Excuse me. That will never do.
I see they want the answer in units of kilowatt-hours (kWh).
In that case, it's
(60 watts) · (30 days) · (8 hours/day) · (1 kW/1,000 watts)
= (60 · 30 · 8 · 1 / 1,000) (watt · day · hour · kW / day · watt)
= 14.4 kW·hour
Rounded to the nearest whole number:
14 kWh
