3. Sensing principle used in a LVDT _ELECTROMAGNETISM_ 4. The _PHOTOELECTRIC__ is a phenomenon in which photon energy (i.e.

from light) releases electrons from their otherwise more stable state on a surface 5. A _QUATER BRIGE_ uses a single strain gage with three fixed resistors 6. Temperature-dependent resistance is the sensing principle used in_THERMISTER_ 7. SPL is a measurement of sound strength on a _dB_Logrithmic_ 8. A _________ is a common device for quantifying fluid velocity based on stagnation pressure 9. 8-bit binary representation of 121 is__0111_ 1001____ 10. A photoelectric tachometer has 24 equally spaced reflectors on the disk. If 600 cycles per second are detected the rpm of the shaft is _________ _______________________________________________ 1. Under-sampling results in __ALIASING__ 2. ___UNCERTAINTY__ is an estimate of the magnitude of error, typically expressed in terms of a confidence interval within which the error lies. 3. __NORMAL__ distribution best describes the dispersion of data in which the measurement variations are completely due to random factors and occurrences in both positive and negative deviations are equally probable 4. __BANDWIDTH___ is frequency range in which gain is relatively constant 5. ___LOW PASS______ filter attenuates high frequencies 6. Main advantage of FFT is __IS RAPID____ 7. Static signals are those for which changes over time are negligible for the intended measurement True 8. Any two examples of dynamic signals are _VIBR.Ns_and _ACOUSTICS__ 9. Linear regression fits a straight line Y = ax + b through data, using the method of _LEAST SQUAREs_ PAGE155 10 . The closer cofft. Of determination r is to 1, the better the fit:TRUE

4. Nine voltage measurements in a circuit have produced the followingvalues: 12.02, 12.05, 11.96, 11.99, 12.10, 12.03, 12.00, 11.95, 12.16. If the standard deviation for the above data set is 0.07V, determine whether any values can be rejected. (14 points)AVG: 12.0289 so: 11.95 n 12.16 r out! 5. Based on 36 samples, the average resistance is 25 ohms and the sample standard deviation is 0.5 ohm. Determine the 90% confidence interval of the mean resistance of the batch. (15 points) 6. To calculate the power consumption in a resistive circuit (P = VI), the voltage and current have been measured and found to be V = 100 +/- 2V , I = 10 +/- 0.2Av Calculate the maximum possible error and also the best-estimate uncertainty in the computation of the power. Assume that the confidence levels for the uncertainties in V and I are the same. (20 points)EXAMPLE 7.1 PAGE182
