(30 pts.) According to the Darcy-Weisbach equation, the loss in power-generating capacity (P) in a hydroelectric system due to head loss (H) is: P QH =ηγ where η is turbine efficiency, γ the specific gravity of water, Q the volumetric flow rate, and H the head loss. Measurements over a particular stretch of time yielded the summary data below: Parameter Mean value Standard deviation η 0.85 0.02 γ 9800 N/m3 0.0 N/m3 Q 60 m3 /s 1.00 m3 /s H 3.71 m 0.10 m a) What is the uncertainty (variance) in P that can be attributed to variations in the above measurements? b) Which of the following actions would provide the greatest reduction in uncertainty in P: a) reduce uncertainty in η to 0.01, reduce uncertainty in Q to 0.5, or reduce uncertainty in H to 0.05?

When a vertical beam of light passes through a transparent medium, the rate at which its intensity i decreases is proportional to i(t), where t represents the thickness of the medium (in feet). in clear seawater, the intensity 3 feet below the surface is 25% of the initial intensity i0 of the incident beam. what is the intensity of the beam "10" feet below the surface? (give your answer in terms of i0. round any constants or coefficients to five decimal places.)
