- 14. The data shown in the following graph was collected during testing of an electromagnetic mass driver. The energy to energize the electromagnets was obtained from a bank of capacitors. The capacitor bank was charged to various voltages, and for each voltage, the exit velocity of the projectile was measured when the mass driver was activated.

Note
Due to several complicated nonlinear losses in the system that are far beyond the
scope of this course, this is a case of a power model in which the exponent does not come out to be an integer or simple fraction, so rounding to two significant figures is appropriate. In fact, this model is only a first approximation-a really accurate model would be considerably more complicated.

- a. What would the velocity be if the capacitors were charged to 100,000 volts?
- b. What voltage would be necessary to accelerate the projectile to 1000 meters per second?
- c. Assume that the total capacitance is 5 farads. If the capacitors are initially charged to 10,000 volts and are discharged to 2000 volts during the launch of a projectile, what is the mass of the projectile if the overall conversion of energy stored in the capacitors to kinetic energy in the projectile has an efficiency of 20%? Recall that the energy stored in a capacitor is given by E = 0.5 CV2, where C is capacitance in farads and V is voltage in volts.

- 3. Figure 5 shows a linear graph of a motor driving a heavy rotor. The electric circuit of the motor consists of a voltage source Vs(t) and a resistor with resistance R. The rotor has mass moment of inertia J. The motor is modeled as an ideal transformer with T = kai and V = ka, where i and V are the current and voltage of the motor and T and 2 are the torque and angular velocity of the rotor. Answer the following questions. (a) Determine the driving point impedance Z(s). 2 (b) In an impedance test, the voltage is varied sinusoidally, i.e., Vs(t) = vo coswt, to measure impedance Z(jw) along the pure imaginary axis. Roughly sketch the magnitude of Z (jw) with respect to frequency w.

You decide to perform an analysis on a robot arm of the assembly line with the objective of optimizing its performance. After taking several readings of the speed of the arm’s end effector, you approximate its velocity to the function given below. v(t) = -t4 + 5t3 - 7t2 + 3t + 0.22 0 =< t =< 3 where the velocity is in ms-1 d) Knowing that the distance travelled by an object is the area under its velocity-time graph, determine the distance travelled by the end effector on the interval 0 =< t =< 1 by using the mid-ordinate rule. Simpson’s rule correct to 3 decimal places using four intervals. e) Calculate the same distance as in (d) above by using the appropriate definite integral. f) Compare the distances you calculated in (d) and (e) above and comment on the accuracy of the two methods you used in (d)arrow_forward

Properties of Pump Systems - II Learning Objectives: This problem builds on the pump examples we have been doing, but is meant to help you learn to do proofs in a step by step fashion. Can you generalize intuition from a simple example? We consider a system of reservoirs connected to each other through pumps. An example system is shown below in Figure 1, represented as a graph. Each node in the graph is marked with a letter and represents a reservoir. Each edge in the graph represents a pump which moves a fraction of the water from one reservoir to the next at every time step. The fraction of water moved is written on top of the edge. Figure 1: Pump system We want to prove the following theorem. We will do this step by step. Theorem: Consider a system consisting of k reservoirs such that the entries of each column in the system's state transition matrix sum to one. If s is the total amount of water in the system at timestep n, then total amount of water at timestep n +1 will also be…arrow_forward
