Sketch a eaeh showing the relation between P and W, given P 60 75 100 125 145 Ww 225 300 430 560 600 Find P when W = 500. Ris the resistance to motion of a train at speed V. Find a law of the type R= aV?+ b connecting R and V using the following data Rkgton 8 10 152 V(km/hr) 10 20 30 40 50Numerical Mathods The resistance R of a carbon filament lamp was measured at various values of voltage V and the following observations were made. 62 70 78 84 92 R 73 70.7 69.2 678 66.3 (Ranchi B.Tech 1986) Assuming a law of the form R = a/V + b, find by graphical method the best values of a and 5. 44 the co-efficient of frictién between a belt and pulley and y, the velocity of the belt in ft/min, are connected as shown in the following table: ay 500 1000 2000 4000 6000 # 0.29 0.33 - 0.38 045 0.51 r The probable law is 2 =a + Vv. Test graphically the accuracy of this law and if it is true, find the values of a and b. Fit a curve of the form y = ae to the following data: x 1 2 = 4 5 6 y 14 27 40 55 68 300 RT The following observations are corresponding to pressure and specific volume of dry saturated steam. Fit a curve of the form PV" = & by graphical method. vO 384 20 B51 444 3.03 231 a 10 20 50 100 150 200 ANSWERS 1.
