A group of students wish to determine the density of a cylinder to be used in a de-sign project. They plan to determine the density from measurements of the cylindersmass, length, and diameter, which have instrument resolutions of 0.1 lbm, 0.05 in., and0.0005 in., respectively. The balance used to measure the weight has an instrument uncertainty (accuracy) of 1 %. The rulers used to measure the length and diameterpresent negligible instrument uncertainties. Nominal values of the mass, length, anddiameter are 4.5 lbm, 6.00 in., and 4.0000 in., respectively.
(a) Estimate the zero-order uncertainty in the determination of the density.
(b) Which measurement contributesthe most to this uncertainty?
(c) Estimate the design-stage uncertainty in the deter mination of the density.

A2-m rigid tank initially contains saturated water vapor at 100 kpa. the tank is connected to a supply line through a valve. steam is flowing in the supply line at 600 kpa and 300 c. the valve is opened, and steam is allowed to enter the tank until the pressure in the tank reaches the line pressure, at which point the valve is closed. a thermometer placed in the tank indicates that the temperature at the final state is 200°c. determine (a) the mass of steam that has entered the tank (b) the amount of heat transfer.
