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

Linear Measurements Purpose How thick is one of the hairs on your head? Could it be measured accurately with a standard inch scale? If the smallest increment on an inch scale is 1/16 inch‚ then 20 average size human hairs could fit within the space of a 1/16 inch gap. The required degree of accuracy needed is dependent on the application. If you were to build a home‚ a standard inch scale is perfect for laying out walls and locating window openings.A dial caliper is a precision measurement tool

General Chemistry 1 Lab 1: Laboratory Techniques and Measurements Purpose: The purpose of this lab is to ensure that students are able to understand how to conduct measurements of length‚ mass‚ temperature‚ density and volume using different measuring devices. Students will also learn how to dilute substances by using simple algebra. Procedure: 1. Prepare a data table similar to Data Table 1 shown below. 2. Choose any three objects that are shorter than the metric ruler to measure‚ such

ARCELIA ARRATIA MEASUREMENT OF LENGTH‚ MASS‚ VOLUME‚ AND DENSITY PHYSICS LAB REPORT Physics is the scientific study of matter and energy and how they interact with each other. Physics utilizes the scientific formula to test hypothesis and calculate matter such as density. Tools were created to measure material in a laboratory and have been perfected to reduce error. In this experiment measurement of length‚ mass‚ volume and density will be obtained through instruments of measuring

level. If the water in this experiment did not boil at 100°C‚ what could be the reason? The reason why water did not boil at 100°C could be because we are not at sea level; the pressure could be lower. B. While heating two different samples of water at sea level‚ one boils at 102°C and one boils at 99.2°C. Calculate the percent error for each sample from the theoretical 100.0°C. 1st sample 1.96% error 2nd sample 0.81% error C. An unknown‚ rectangular substance measures 3.6 cm

Strategic Performance Measurement: Benefits‚ Limitations and Paradoxes1 Pietro Micheli and Jean-Francois Manzoni Extended abstract Strategic Performance Measurement (SPM) can be both functional and dysfunctional for organisations. SPM can help organisations define and achieve their strategic objectives‚ align behaviours and attitudes and‚ ultimately‚ have a positive impact on organisational performance. However‚ SPM has also been criticised for several reasons‚ such as encouraging perverse behaviours

FLOW MEASUREMENT (Venturi meter‚ Orifice Plate and Rotameter) OBJECTIVES To study the characteristics and applications of various flow measuring device (venturi meter & orifice plate). To calculate the volume flow rate of water from the pressure difference of both venturi and orifice devices. To compare between theoretical and actual volumetric flow rate through the discharge coefficient concept. To know how rotameter works. INTRODUCTION The measurement of fluid flow is important in applications

Social Networking vs. Face to Face Communication With social networking at its peak‚ face to face communication has become scarce in modern society. With sites such as Facebook‚ Twitter and MySpace face to face communication lost its indicative value. Social networking has become so widely spread throughout the world that it has become the primary form of communication. Both face to face communication and social media have limits and boundaries that contribute to their major distinctions. With social

About Face: The Face Transplant Debate By Sherri L. Rodney-Kahle HCA 322 Health Care Ethics and Medical Law Professor Dolores Thomas July 13‚ 2009 About Face – The Great Face Transplant Debate The first successful human organ transplant in the United States was performed on December 23‚ 1954. On that date‚ a kidney was successfully transplanted‚ with the organ donated by a living identical twin of the recipient (Kaserman‚ 2007). More than fifty years have now passed since that first
