 DATA LOGGING

 The process of collecting and storing data over a period

of time in order to analyse specific trends or record any
data of a system or environment.

ADVANTAGES DISADVANTAGES

Automatic If there is a fault in the sensor or the computer,

it may go unnoticed for a long time
Require less time Initial cost of purchasing the equipment is quite
expensive
Readings can be collected without miss
Some people find it difficult to use computer
More accurate system

Question
 What happen if the water level in the water bath is not
immersed the bimetal strip fully?
 The water level must immerse the bimetal strip to ensure the uniform
heating. If the water level is not immersed, some of the metal will not
heated and it will affect the deflection reading of bimetal strip.
 During remove the heated bimetal kid out of the hot bath and
expose to room temperature, the deflection reading is quickly
recorded. Explain the reason.
 Because, when the bimetal put out from the hot bath, the heat from the
bimetal strip is start to loss to surrounding. It actually the starting point
of cooling process. That the reason why it must to record immediately.
ENHANCE
A person is found murdered in their home. As
the forensic who investigate this case, how do
you find out the time of death of the victim?

Answer :
According to Newton, when hot bodies are
left in the open, they are found to cool
gradually. Thus, to find out the time of
death is by :
• taking the temperature of the body when
discovered
• knowing that the average temperature of
Don’t worry. This is just a Halloween decoration ~ human body is 37°C
• measuring the ambient temperature

𝑇 = 𝑇𝑜 𝑒 −𝑘𝑡 + 𝑇𝑟𝑜𝑜𝑚 Use the Newton’s law of cooling formula to

find probability constant k, and then find
time of death t !
 EXTENSION
Does coldness exist? Explain.
