Answer:

a) \tan \theta = \frac{v^{2}}{g\cdot R}

Explanation:

a) The Free Body Diagram of the vehicle and reference axis are included in the image attached below. Equations or equilibrium are presented below:

\Sigma F_{x} = N\cdot \sin \theta = m\cdot \frac{v^{2}}{R}

\Sigma F_{y} = N\cdot \cos \theta - m\cdot g = 0

Tangent of the highway can be found by dividing the first expression by the second one:

\tan \theta = \frac{m\cdot \frac{v^{2}}{R} }{m\cdot g}

\tan \theta = \frac{v^{2}}{g\cdot R}

Part b) :

Calculate the angle of banking on the highway

Answer:

a)tan \theta = \frac{v^{2} }{rg}

b) \theta = 10.97^{0}

Explanation:

traffic speed, v = 88 km/ h = 88 * (1000/3600) = 24.44 m/s

Radius of the curve, r = 314 m

a) Write an equation for the tangent of the highway's angle of banking.

The traffic should move both in the vertical and horizontal directions

In the vertical direction, it is moving against gravity, therefore

\sum F_{y} = 0\\Ncos \theta - mg =0\\

Ncos \theta = mg..............(1)

For the horizontal movement,

\sum F_{y} = 0\\Nsin \theta - ma =0\\

Nsin \theta = ma................(2)

To get the tangent equation, divide equation (2) bu equation (1)

\frac{N sin \theta}{N cos \theta} = \frac{ma}{mg}

tan \theta = \frac{a}{g}...........(3)

Centripetal acceleration, a = \frac{v^{2} }{r} \\..........(4)

Substituting (4) into (3)

tan \theta = \frac{v^{2} }{r} /g\\tan \theta = \frac{v^{2} }{rg}

b) Angle of banking on the high way

v = 24.44 /s

r = 314 m

g = 9.81 m/s^2

Substituting those values into the result gotten in part a

tan \theta = \frac{24.44^{2} }{314*9.81}\\tan \theta = 0.194\\\theta = tan^{-1} 0.194\\

\theta = 10.97^{0}

A sensor produces a signal with amplitude 15 mV. A voltage amplifier must amplify the signal such that the amplitude of the outp
Nady [450]

Answer:

42.50 dB

Explanation:

Determine the minimum voltage gain

amplitude of input signal ( Vi ) = 15 mV

amplitude of output signal ( Vo) = 2 V

Vo = 2 v

therefore ; minimum gain = Vo / Vi =  2 / ( 15 * 10^-3 )

                                                         = 133.33

Minimum gain in DB = 20 log ( 133.33 )

                                  = 42.498 ≈ 42.50 dB
