Calculate acceleration of gravity using chi-square

AI Thread Summary
To calculate the acceleration of gravity using chi-square, one must apply the chi-square method to find the best fit for a set of measured values. Chi-square serves as a measure of how well the predicted values match the observed data. An iterative numerical approach is typically required to effectively use chi-square for fitting data. Resources were shared for further understanding of the chi-square method and its application in statistical analysis. Understanding these concepts is crucial for accurately determining the average value of gravity from experimental data.

Homework Statement


Hi, i have to calculate acceleration of gravity using chi-square.

I have some measures of g, but I don't know how i can calculate g using chi-square.

2. The attempt at a solution
I haven't any idea to deal with. Can you suggest me some ways to solve the problem?
Thanks a lot

Thread 'Struggling to understand the concept of this question (ice cube in water optics question)'

TL;DR Summary: I came across this question from a Sri Lankan A-level textbook. Question - An ice cube with a length of 10 cm is immersed in water at 0 °C. An observer observes the ice cube from the water, and it seems to be 7.75 cm long. If the refractive index of water is 4/3, find the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. I could not understand how the apparent height of the ice cube in the water depends on the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. Does anyone have an...

Thread 'Variable mass system : water sprayed into a moving container'

Starting with the mass considerations #m(t)# is mass of water #M_{c}# mass of container and #M(t)# mass of total system $$M(t) = M_{C} + m(t)$$ $$\Rightarrow \frac{dM(t)}{dt} = \frac{dm(t)}{dt}$$ $$P_i = Mv + u \, dm$$ $$P_f = (M + dm)(v + dv)$$ $$\Delta P = M \, dv + (v - u) \, dm$$ $$F = \frac{dP}{dt} = M \frac{dv}{dt} + (v - u) \frac{dm}{dt}$$ $$F = u \frac{dm}{dt} = \rho A u^2$$ from conservation of momentum , the cannon recoils with the same force which it applies. $$\quad \frac{dm}{dt}...
