Math Problem Statement
Find the volume (V) corresponding to a sounding of 4.13 m. Refer to the values extracted from the fuel oil sounding table: 4.10 m → 120.91 m³ and 4.15 m → 124.27 m³.
Solution
To find the volume corresponding to a sounding of 4.13 m, we can use linear interpolation between the two given values:
- Sounding = 4.10 m, Volume = 120.91 m³
- Sounding = 4.15 m, Volume = 124.27 m³
Given:
- You want to find the volume at Sounding = 4.13 m.
The formula for linear interpolation is:
Where:
- = 4.13 m (the sounding for which we need to find the volume)
- m, m³
- m, m³
Now, we can calculate the volume . I'll compute it.The volume corresponding to a sounding of 4.13 meters is approximately 122.93 m³.
Would you like further details or clarifications? Here are some related questions to expand your understanding:
- How would the volume change for a sounding of 4.12 meters using the same method?
- Can you apply linear interpolation in other situations, like temperature or pressure tables?
- What assumptions do we make when using linear interpolation in this context?
- How would the result differ if the values were not linearly related?
- Can we calculate this volume using a different interpolation method, like quadratic interpolation?
Tip: When using interpolation, make sure the relationship between the variables is approximately linear, otherwise the result might not be accurate.
