Impact of Jet Experiment: Error & Effects

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The forum discussion centers on the impact of small measurement errors in a jet experiment, specifically focusing on jockey weight, distance from the vane center to the pivot point, and nozzle diameter. It concludes that errors as small as 1 gram in jockey weight, 1 mm in distance, and 0.1 mm in nozzle diameter have negligible effects on the calculated values. The consensus is that these minor discrepancies can be disregarded in the context of the experiment's overall accuracy.

Homework Statement



What would be the effect of calculated value if:
a. Jockey weight is in error by 1 g?
b. Distance from vane center to pivot point is in error by 1 mm?
c. diameter of nozzle 0.1mm different from actual nozzle diameter.

Homework Equations

The Attempt at a Solution


as the error is too small, the effect can be neglect.
