Chapter 1, Problem 4P

We can build a control system that will automatically adj ust a motorcycle” s radio volume as the noise generated by the motorcycle changes. The noise generated by the motorcycle increases with speed. As the noise increases, the system increases the volume of the radio. Assume that the amount of noise can be represented by a voltage generated by the speedometer cable, and the volume of the radio is controlled by a dc voltage (Hogan I988). If the dc voltage represents the desired volume disturbed by the motorcycle noise, draw the functional block, diagram of the automatic volume control system, showing the input transducer, the volume control circuit, and the speed transducer as blocks. Also, show the following signals: the desired volume as an input, the actual volume as an output, and voltages representing speed, desired volume, and actual volume. An animation PowerPoint presentation (PPT) demonstrating this system is available for instructors. See Motorcycle. [Section 1.4: Introduction to a Case Studyl
