Mass M1 = 2.25 kg is at the end of a rope that is 2.00 m in length. The initial angle with
respect to the vertical is 60.0° and M1 is initially at rest. Mass M1 is released and strikes M2
= 4.50 kg exactly horizontally. The collision is elastic. After collision, mass M2 is moving on
a frictionless surface, but runs into a rough patch 2.00…

A customer asked you to explain your choice of a temperature sensor that you used for his PCB. Initially, there were two sensor options. To compare between them, you decided to test their accuracy and precision. Accuracy of a sensor is a measure of how near its reading is to the real value, the nearer the measured value to the real value the better. While precision is a measure of how widely spread the readings of a sensor are [relative to each other] when measuring the same variable, the narrower the spread the better. So, you tested the two sensors by measuring the same temperature, which was 100 C of boiling water, and you recorder the following 10 measurements of each sensor. Which Sensor has higher accuracy, and which one has higher precision.

Hint. Both power-sizing and indexing will be used. Ć + Question 3. The purchase price of a natural gas-fired commercial boiler (capacity X) was $181,000 eight years ago. Another boiler of the same basic design, except with the capacity 1.42X, is currently being considered for purchase. If it is purchased, some optional features presently costing $28,000 would be added for your application. If the cost index was 162 for this type of equipment when the capacity X boiler was purchased and is 221 now, and the applicable cost capacity factor is 0.8, what is your estimate of the purchase price for the new boiler?
