Analysis of two and four-lead resistance measurements Johnny Greavu University of Minnesota-Twin Cities September 29‚ 2014 Introduction We measured the resistance per foot of a wire using setups of both two and four test leads in tandem with a digital voltmeter (DVM) and compared their accuracy. While resistance can be determined by measuring voltage and current separately‚ it can also be measured more simply and directly using the resistance measuring feature available to some digital voltmeters

Experiment # 1 Date: 18/12/13 Title: Chemical Properties of Alkanes. Aim: To test the reactivity of alkanes using cyclohexane as an example. Apparatus/Materials: Cyclohexane‚ liquid alkane‚ aqueous bromine‚ test tubes‚ light source‚ watch glass‚ splint‚ 0.1 MKMnO4‚ concentrated H2SO4‚ dilute H2SO4. Method: Combustion: 1. A watch glass was placed on a benched protection sheet in a fume cupboard and the extractor in the fume on. 2. 4 drops of cyclohexane was placed on the watch glass using

1. 2. a) What general steps should Hank follow in setting up a continuous improvement program for the company? Hank should first analysis the cost of quality since the high quality problems are made by lack of training‚ motivation‚ communication and testing. They can measure the appraisal costs‚ prevention costs‚ internal failure costs and external failure cost through the cost of quality measurement. After the measure of the cost‚ the Hank should follow “ plan‚ do‚ check and act” steps

The Vernier Caliper and Micrometer Experiment # 1 Abstract: The activity involved the use of both vernier and micrometer calipers accurately on measuring provided materials. The objectives of the act were to familiarize the students with the use of the said scales and to demonstrate their differences. The dimensions of a metallic cube made of steel and a metallic washer were measured using a vernier caliper while that of a marble made of glass and the same metal cube were measured using the

Q1. Why should a four place analytical balance not be used in weighing a sample if the manual requests only one decimal place accuracy? Ans. We use the analytical balance where we need to weigh the small amount which needs a high degree of accuracy. Whereas‚ the manual requests only one decimal place accuracy which is not that much important and the time is consumed more to use the analytical balance with four decimal places. Q2. How is the pH meter calibrated? Ans. Firstly‚ The pH meter is calibrated

Biology 103 Lab Spring 2013 Does a larger head mean higher intelligence? Introduction: Some say a larger head gives room for a bigger‚ more intelligent brain. Men‚ thought to have larger heads simply because they’re… well men. In which case‚ men have a larger head size than women‚ therefore making men smarter than women. Methods: My partner and I went ahead and measured the heads of 15 people in our class‚ 5 of them male and 10 of them female. We used a measuring band to measure‚ to

constant speed AC motor‚ while the HP stage is driven by a variable speed DC motor. This feature allows variation of the intermediate pressure. Each stage is provided with its own dynamometer. At compressor’s inlet there is an airbox with a sharp-edged orifice for flow measurement. An intercooler is provided between the two stages‚ and an intercooler between the second stage and the pressure vessel. Connected to the pressure vessel is an exhaust pipe with a throttling valve and a calibrated flow

How the Amount of Water Effects Plant Growth By Dennis Marchuk Turner Ashby High School Grade 10 March 23‚ 2013 The purpose of this project was to determine how much the amount of water effected plant growth. This had been accomplished by taking three groups of plants and placing them next to one another. Each group contains two plants. Each one would be watered with a different amount of water. They would then be measured how much they grew. The growth of the three plants was compared
