Question
Chapter 2, Problem 2.1P
To determine
The term “signal” as it relates to measurement systems. Provide two examples of static and dynamic input signals to particular measurement system.
Expert Solution & Answer

Explanation of Solution
Signal is an output of any system or physical quantity that varies depending upon time, pressure or temperature like any independent variable of input given.
Example of static input signals:
- Y(t) = 5X(t) + 17; Here, the output at tth instant depends on the input at the same tth instant. Hence, the given system is static system.
- Y(t) = 7X(t) + X2(t) + 5; Here also, the output at tth instant depends on the input at the same tth instant. Hence, the given system is static system.
Example of dynamic input signals:
- Y(t) = 3X(t+2) + 10X(t); Here the output at tth instant depends on the same instant as well as on future instant also.
- Y(t) = 5X(t-3) + 3X(t) + 6; Here the output at tth instant depends on the same instant as well as on past instant also.

HW12
A multiple-disc clutch has five plates having four pairs of active friction surfaces. If
the intensity of pressure is not to exceed 0.127 N/mm², find the power transmitted at
500 r.p.m. The outer and inner radii of friction surfaces are 125 mm and 75 mm
respectively. Assume uniform wear and take the coefficient of friction = 0.3.
The sketch below gives some details of the human heart at rest. What is the total power
requirement (work/time) for an artificial heart pump if we use a safety factor of 5 to allow for
inefficiencies, the need to operate the heart under stress, etc.? Assume blood has the
properties of water.
