Solutions for Q10 (from uploaded PDF)

The problem (as in the uploaded file) states that an alternating current has a maximum (peak) voltage
of about 180 V and a standard frequency of 56 Hz. The voltage is modelled by

V(t) = a · sin(k(t − d)) + c

We are asked to determine:

(a) Period of 56 Hz AC.


(b) The value of k (angular frequency in the model).
(c) The amplitude a of the voltage function.
(d) A suitable transformed sine model for V(t).

Answers and working:

(a) The period T is the reciprocal of frequency f:


T = 1/f = 1/56 ≈ 0.01785714 seconds (≈ 17.857 ms).

(b) In the sine model k is the angular frequency ω = 2πf:


k = 2π·56 = 112π ≈ 351.858 rad/s.

(c) The maximum (peak) voltage is given as 180 V. For a sinusoid with zero vertical shift (c = 0), the
amplitude is the peak value, so:
a = 180 V.

(d) A simple transformed sine function that models the voltage (with no phase shift and mean 0) is:
V(t) = 180 · sin(112π t)
This has period T = 2π / (112π) = 1/56 s and peak value ±180 V about zero, matching the given data.

(If the circuit convention uses a cosine start at t=0 with maximum at t=0, an equivalent form is V(t) =
180 · cos(112π t).)
