Chapter 3, Problem 3.29P
An application demands that a sinusoidal pressure variation of 250 Hz be measured with no more
than 2% dynamic error. In selecting a suitable pressure transducer from a vendor catalog, you note that a desirable line of transducers has a fixed natural frequency of 600 Hz but that you have a choice of transducer damping ratios of between 0.5 and 1.5 in increments of 0.05. Select a suitable transducer.
