Math Studies: Units Project

1A Gilmartin Dear noble tribe leaders of T-Island, I have created a brand-new system of units for us to use in our daily lives called the T-Dog system. You will find this system to be quite useful, as it includes six unique units which measure temperature, length, time, weight/mass, volume/displacement, and currency. By utilizing these units, life will be made easier for us. Moreover, if it is ever decided to switch to other well-known systems, it is possible as each unit has a simple conversion to the metric system. Lastly, there are 5 situations attached to this proposal which exemplify the simplicity and convenience of using the T-Dog system.

The first unit in the T-Dog system is “Sweats” ( ), a measurement of temperature.
This measurement was invented by the unique Talha Tribe, who were the first ones to employ the use of this ingenious system.
This measurement is used to calculate and measure heat, specifically the temperature of any given atmosphere, and depict the weather.
This measurement is based on the amount of sweat one produces under a given amount of heat; therefore this unit was given the name “Sweats”.
The symbol used to designate the “Sweats” unit is a small water/sweat droplet. This symbol was created to visually represent the unit of “Sweats”.
The “Sweats” unit, in relation to the metric system would convert by the following:
1 Sweat = 10 ° Celsius

The second unit in the T-Dog system is “Longs” (lo), a measurement of length.
This measurement was also invented by the unique Talha Tribe, who were the first ones to employ the use of this ingenious system.
This measurement is used to calculate and measure length and/or distance, specifically from point A to point B. It is used when members of the tribe travel around the island.
This measurement is based on the amount one would have to travel to somewhere that is a “long” journey away, this is why this unit was named

    Fig.10.3 The structure of the skin. 3. When the body is exercising vigorously or when the surrounding is hot: 1) Thermoreceptors in the skin detect an increase in environmental temperature or heat sensors in the hypothalamus detect a rise in the temperature of the blood. 2) The sweat glands increase the production of sweat. 3) Vasodilation, increases the internal diameter of blood vessels so that more blood is brought to the capillaries. 4) Body loses heat as sweat evaporates. 5) Body loses heat as more blood is brought to the skin surface, leading to increased heat loss by conduction, convection and radiation. 6) Metabolic rate is lowered leading to the decreased heat production by cells. 7) Body temperature is lowered. 4. When the body is at rest or when the surrounding is cold: 1) Thermoreceptors in the skin detect decrease in the environmental temperature or heat sensors in the hypothalamus detect drop in temperature of blood. 2) The sweat glands stop production of sweat. 3) Vasoconstriction, reduces the internal diameter of blood vessels so that less blood is brought to the capillaries. 4) Body gains heat as erector muscles in the skin contract causing the hairs to stand up, creating a layer of air which will act as insulation. 5) Skeletal muscles contract and relax repeatedly; this shivering resulting in production of heat. 6) Less blood is brought to the skin surface…

    Surveyors often use triangulation to measure distance. Starting at a known location and elevation, surveyors measure a length to create a base line and then use a theodolite to measure an angle to an unknown pint from each side of the base line (Jains, 2012, pp. 30-48). The length of the base line and the two known angles allow a computer or person to determine the location of a third point.…

    The Aztecs developed compasses, squares, plumb levels, and applied geometry for their building and measurement. Not only did they need these instruments for engineering their cities and edifices, but also for precise land measurement for taxation purposes (Landon, 1993, MA29). In contrast, the Omaha used a stake and a rawhide strap to make circles. Other North American native people, the Kwakuitl made right angles and squares with a system of cords and pegs by finding midpoints and doubling. (Landon, 1993, p.…

    The amount of heat needed to increase the temperature of an object exactly 1°C is the heat capacity of that object. The specific heat capacity of a substance is then the amount of heat it takes to raise the temperature of 1g of the substance1°C. Caliometry is the precise measurement of the heat flow into or out of a system for chemical and physical processes. Heat flow is measured in two common units, the calorie and the Joule. 1 calorie= 1 kilocalorie = 1000 calories. A calorimeter is the device used to measure the absorption or release of heat. In this lab, the water in aluminum can “calorimeter” gains the heat lost during the combustion of a Cheeto.…
