Question

3. The following data was collected by measuring the force load acting on a small area of a beam under repeated “fixed” conditions:

   Reading	Output (N)		Reading	Output (N)
   1	923		6	916
   2	932		7	927
   3	908		8	931
   4	932		9	926
   5	919		10	923

   Plot the data using Python with appropriate labels for the x axis, y axis, and plot title. Be sure to comment your Python code. Determine the systematic error and maximum random error if the true value is known to be 912.

Answer 1

Code

#importing matplotlib library for plotting
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

#creating the y values
y = [923, 932, 908, 932, 919, 916, 927, 931, 926, 923]

#plotting the data
plt.plot(y, marker='o')

#setting x-label
plt.xlabel('Experiment Number')

#setting y-label
plt.ylabel('Force Load')

#setting the title
plt.title('Force load acting on small area')

plt.savefig('plot.png')

#display the plot
plt.show()
