The Mystery Bottle
The Basic Idea Add a certain volume of water to a container measure how much the height increases.
I’ve collected data for 3 bottles
Task 1 Graph Total Volume vs. Height for each of the bottles Figure out what the slope of a Total Volume vs. Height graph means
The graph for a beaker
The graph for a flask
The graph for a funnel
What is the shape of this container?
How about this one?
And this guy?
Is this container possible?
What Does The Slope Mean? The slope is the reciprocal of the area of the bottle
What is the cross sectional area of this container?
What is the cross sectional area of this container?
What is the cross sectional area of this container?
The mystery bottle
Sketch the shape of the bottle
Create a model of the Mystery Bottle!!! Given the data and the formula for area come up with a way to calculate the radius for each data point. Come up with a graph of the Bottle Radius vs. Height
Given To Us The Collected Data We can assume that the bottle has a circular circumference.
Possible Solutions
Sweet Fancy Moses! The Error is Increasing
Which volume to use? Volume Added Total Added
Which height to use? Volume Added Total Added
Which height to use? Volume Added Total Added
Just how do you get h? height
