Chapter 7, Problem 7.8P
A golf cart engine operates between 1,000 to 3,000 rpm. Engine vibrations are transmitted at these frequencies to the cart chassis. Accelerometer measurements are taken with the engine operating at 3,000 rpm. Estimate a proper sample size and sample rate to acquire at least 100 cycles of the signal and to minimize spectral leakage. What is the frequency resolution of your sampled signal for spectral analysis? What is the Nyquist frequency? Show your resulting amplitude spectrum (assume a unit amplitude for the time-based signal).

(e) Give the values at the sample times if you are sampling a sine function that is oscillating at
Nyquist frequency.
(f) Give the values at the sample times if you are sampling a cos (wyt - at times t = kT
where T is the sample time interval for Nyquist frequency (the means that the cosine is
shifted 45 degrees back in time compared to the original cosine, i.e. a phase delay from input to
output).
(g) We commented in class that if a cosine is sampled such that there are 4 or more samples in
each period, then the control action based on the sampled values might be able to make some
effective corrective action. If Nyquist frequency is 100Hz, what sample…

is exposed to a step change of 100 units. If after 1.2 s the instrument
indicates 80 units, estimate the instrument time constant. Estimate the

- Answer the following questions, to test your understanding of sampling frequency and bit depth. 1. You are part of new automobile design team, and are responsible for designing the sensor data collection system. The specification of the data collection system is that is must be capable of receiving data with a resolution down to 0.1% of full scale (1 part in 1000) for any given sensor. For example, suppose the driver pushes the gas pedal, the motion of which is read by an electronic sensor such that the range of motion is defined from 0 (not pressed) to 1 (fully pressed). If you want 0.1 % accuracy, you need 1000 possible data values between 0 and 1. How many bits do you need to represent data to 0.1% accuracy? Insert a picture of your work.arrow_forwardA seismic transducer with natural frequency 750 rad/s and damping ratio 0.7 is used to measure acceleration.

Choose from this family the potentiometer that has the greatest possible sensitivity and also meets the other requirements. What is this sensitivity if the potentiometers are single-turn (360°) units?arrow_forward
