The output voltage of a power supply is normally distributed with mean 5 V and standard deviation 0.02 V. If the lower and upper
1 answer:
To solve this problem we will apply the normal distribution, with which we will obtain the probability that the given event will occur. Concepts such as the mean and standard deviation will be present throughout the solution of the problem. Increasing or decreasing the average would change the location or center point of the curve. The change in the standard deviation would lead to the change in the dispersion of the data. As the standard deviation increases, the curve would become flatter.
Let X be the output voltage of power supply
X∼N
A
The lower and upper specifications for voltage are 4.95 V and 5.05 V, respectively
Hence probability that a power supply selected at random will conform to the specifications on voltage is 0.9876

To solve this problem we will derive the expression of the precession period from the moment of inertia of the given object. We will convert the units that are not in SI, and finally we will find the precession period with the variables found. Let's start defining the moment of inertia.
Here,
M = Mass
R = Radius of the hoop
The precession frequency is given as
Here,
M = Mass
g= Acceleration due to gravity
d = Distance of center of mass from pivot
I = Moment of inertia
= Angular velocity
Replacing the value for moment of inertia
The value for our angular velocity is not in SI, then
Replacing our values we have that
The precession frequency is
Therefore the precession period is 5.4s
