What is the purpose of the controller? Give the
input(s) and output(s) of the controller.
b) What physical variable is measured by a
tachometer?
Describe three different techniques for measuring
temperature.
Why do most sensors have an electrical output,
regardless of the physical nature of the variable
being measured?

Question 6

Feedback control requires being able to sense the


variable being controlled. Because electrical signals can
be transmitted, amplified, and processed easily,
often we want to have a sensor whose output is a
voltage or current proportional to the variable being
measured. Describe a sensor that would give an
electrical output proportional to the following:
(a) Temperature
(b) Pressure
(c) Liquid level
(d) Flow of liquid along a pipe (or blood along an artery)
(e) Linear position
(f) Rotational position
(g) Linear velocity
(h) Rotational speed
(i) Translational acceleration
(j) Torque
