Prove rms voltage using integration

AI Thread Summary
To prove that the RMS voltage of the AC voltage function v = sin(x) is 0.707V, one must calculate the root-mean-square value, which involves finding the average of the square of the function over a specified interval. The formula for this average is the integral of the square of the function divided by the interval length. By integrating (sin(x))^2 over one complete cycle from 0 to 2π and applying the RMS formula, the result will confirm that the RMS value is indeed 0.707V. This method can be applied to any sinusoidal function to derive its RMS voltage. The integration process is essential for validating the RMS calculation.

The Attempt at a Solution

 
Physics news on Phys.org
The root-mean-square value of a function is the root of the average of the square of the function.
The average of the square of a function f (x) over an interval is given by:
\frac{\int_{t_{1}}^{t_{2}} (f (x))^{2} dx}{t_{2} - t_{1}}​
You can do the relevant integration yourself for f (x) = sin x (or any sinusoidal function for that matter)
 
I multiplied the values first without the error limit. Got 19.38. rounded it off to 2 significant figures since the given data has 2 significant figures. So = 19. For error I used the above formula. It comes out about 1.48. Now my question is. Should I write the answer as 19±1.5 (rounding 1.48 to 2 significant figures) OR should I write it as 19±1. So in short, should the error have same number of significant figures as the mean value or should it have the same number of decimal places as...
Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanging mass'
Let's declare that for the cylinder, mass = M = 10 kg Radius = R = 4 m For the wall and the floor, Friction coeff = ##\mu## = 0.5 For the hanging mass, mass = m = 11 kg First, we divide the force according to their respective plane (x and y thing, correct me if I'm wrong) and according to which, cylinder or the hanging mass, they're working on. Force on the hanging mass $$mg - T = ma$$ Force(Cylinder) on y $$N_f + f_w - Mg = 0$$ Force(Cylinder) on x $$T + f_f - N_w = Ma$$ There's also...
