If the mass of both weights is 225 gm, the first mass is located 20∘ north of east, the second mass is located 20∘ south of east, and the transducer sensitivity is 0.5 volts/Newton, how large a voltage do you expect to measure? Assume the transducer has been properly zeroed so that V = 0 when F3=0. Please express your answers with 1 decimal place.

The voltage is 2.114 V.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of both weights = 225 gm

Transducer sensitivity = 0.5 V/N

The first mass is located 20∘ north of east, the second mass is located 20∘ south of east,

We need to calculate the net equivalent force

Using formula of force

Put the value into the formula

We need to calculate the voltage

Using formula of voltage

Put the value into the formula

Hence, The voltage is 2.114 V.
