Problem 1.

48 [Difficulty: 3]

Given: Data on water

Find: Viscosity; Uncertainty in viscosity

Solution:

− 5 N⋅s
The data is: A = 2.414 × 10 ⋅ B = 247.8⋅ K C = 140 ⋅ K T = 303 ⋅ K

m

0.5⋅ K
The uncertainty in temperature is uT = u T = 0.171⋅ %
293⋅ K

B
( T− C) − 3 N⋅s
Also μ( T) = A⋅ 10 Evaluating μ ( 293⋅ K ) = 1.005 × 10 ⋅
2
m

d A ⋅ B⋅ ln( 10)
For the uncertainty μ ( T) = −
dT B
C −T 2
10 ⋅ ( C − T)

T ln( 10) ⋅ B⋅ T⋅ u T
d
Hence u μ( T) = ⋅ μ( T) ⋅ u T = Evaluating u μ( T) = 1.11⋅ %
μ( T) dT
( C−T ) 2
