Tutorial 2.
Zero and First Order Systems
Q.1
Solution:
Sensitivity of (a) Transducer = 0.3 Ω/oC
(b) Wheatstone Bridge = 0.01 V/ Ω
(c) Amplifier Gain = 80 V/V
(d) Pen Recorder = 0.12 cm/V
Overall Sensitivity = 0.3 Ω/oC x 0.01 V/ Ω x 80 V/V x 0.12 cm/V
= 0.0288 cm/ oC
Temperature change corresponding to a recorder pen movement of 3cm

Q.9
Solution:
Time Constant
Since output signal is 0.8 times the amplitude of input signal, so
For sinusoidal input,
√
or,
√
Squaring both sides and solving for ω, we get ω = 0.0597 Hz
Q.10
Solution:
Maximum frequency content f = 100 Hz
So,
Amplitude inaccuracy = 5% = 0.05
Amplitude of Output Ao = Amplitude of Input Ai – 5% of Ai
Hence,
Solving for , we get
