**Problem 6: Low-Pass Filter Voltage Calculation**

Consider a low-pass filter composed of a 140Ω resistor and a capacitor with capacitance \( C = 9\mu F \). If the input rms (root mean square) current is 1A at a frequency of 55Hz, what is the output voltage?

This problem requires knowledge of electrical circuits, specifically the behavior of low-pass filters, to calculate the output voltage based on the given parameters. 

To solve this, you would need to:

1. Calculate the capacitive reactance (\( X_C \)) using the formula:
   \[
   X_C = \frac{1}{2\pi fC}
   \]

2. Calculate the total impedance (\( Z \)) of the filter:
   \[
   Z = \sqrt{R^2 + X_C^2}
   \]

3. Use Ohm’s Law to find the output voltage (\( V_{\text{out}} \)):
   \[
   V_{\text{out}} = I \times Z
   \]

Where:
- \( f \) is the frequency (55Hz),
- \( R \) is the resistance (140Ω),
- \( I \) is the rms current (1A),
- \( C \) is the capacitance (9μF).

This calculation involves circuit analysis skills and understanding reactance in AC circuits.
