SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on solving the equation Po=(Kc*y/A*x)*Iin to find suitable values for variables x and y, given specific parameters. The constants provided include Kc=2500 Newton Amps, A=5 cm², and the relationship x+y=100 mm. The pressure must be converted to pascals and current to amps, with all dimensions expressed in meters. The user is advised to determine the slope from the graph to aid in solving the equation.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of algebraic manipulation and solving equations
  • Familiarity with units of measurement, specifically pascals and meters
  • Knowledge of pressure and current relationships in physics

The I/P converter is designed to produce the response 'A' in the graph attached. The balance equation of the system is:

Po=(Kc*y/A*x)*IinKc=2500Newton Amps (NA)
x+y=100mm
z=75 mm
A=5cm^2

Determine suitable values of y and x to give the response 'A' in the graph attached.

pressure must be entered into the equation in pascal and current in amps and all dimensions in metres

The Attempt at a Solution



Po=(Kc*y/A*x)*Iin100000 pascals=(2500*y/0.0005meters^2*x)*0.02

100000/0.02 = (2500*y/0.0005*x)

5000000= (2500*y/0.0005*x)

It is at this point where i am stuck on how to continue and how to make x or y the subject of the equation.

Why don't you try determining the slope from the graph, first.

What part of Po=(Kc*y/A*x)*Iin represents the slope?

Don't forget about your other equation, x+y=100mm
