Textbook Question
Chapter 13, Problem 5ICA
Being quite interested in obsolete electronics, Angus has purchased several electronic music synthesis modules dating from the early 1970s and is testing them to find out how they work. One module is a voltage-controlled amplifier (VCA) that changes the amplitude (loudness) of an audio signal by changing a control voltage into the VCA. All Angus knows is that the magnitude of the control voltage should be less than 5 volts. He sets the audio input signal to an amplitude of 1 volt, then measures the audio output amplitude for different control voltage values. The following table shows these data. Show the resulting data and trendline, with equation and R2 value, on the appropriate graph type (xy scatter, semilog or log–log) to make the data appear linear.

1. A particle moves with a simple harmonic motion through space. it takes 5ms to complete one cycle. What is its frequency in rad/s
2. A particle moves with a simple harmonic motion through space. it takes 3ms to complete two cycles. What is its frequency in Hz
A pressure transducer that behaves as a second-order system is supposed to have a damping ratio of 0.7, but some of the damping fluid has leaked out, leaving an unknown damping ratio.
When the transducer is subjected to a harmonic input of 1850 Hz, the phase angle between the input and the output is 45°.
The manufacturer states that the natural frequency of the transducer is 18 500 rad/s. (a) What is the dynamic error in the transducer output for a harmonic pressure signal of 1200 Hz? (b) If the transducer indicates a pressure amplitude of 50 psi, what is the true amplitude of the pressure?
If the frequency of a
waveform is 50 Hz, then the
time period of the waveform is
