INSTRUCTIONS
(1) Assume appropriate data and state your reasons
(2) Marks are given to the right of every question
(3) Draw neat diagrams wherever necessary

1(a) Draw and label a Stethoscope used by medical practitioners. Identify and represent its measurement system elements in block diagram from with respect to a generalized measurement system. Enlist its varied application's in modern world.

2(a) Define Resolution, Precision and Accuracy of a measuring instrument. A moving coil volmeter has a uniform scale with 100 divisions, the full scale reading is 200v and 1/10th of a scale division can be estimated with a fair degree of cretainty. Determine the resolution of the instrument in volt.
7 M
2(b) What is a Stroboscope? A stroboscope projects 6000 flashes per minute on a disc with 10 patterns mounted on the shaft of a machine. Find the speed of machine if the disc appears stationary and has a single point image. What will be the two possible shaft speeds if 10 points appear to be revolving once in 15 second? Draw your solution.

2(c) Illustrate the working principle of "L.V.D.T" for displacement measurement.

3(a) What are Bi-metallic Thermometers? State the principle of operation and explain with neat diagram the deflection measured in industrial type bi-metallic thermometers.
8 M
3(b) The output power of a rotating shaft is measured by a dynamometer. The relationship for output power is - $P=\frac{2\pi x 9.81FLT}{tx10^6}KW$ Where:
F= Force at the end of torque arm, kg;
L = Length of torque arm, mm;
R = Number of revolutions during time t,
t = Time for test ren, S. The test data are - F = 4.58±0.02 kg
L= 397± 1.3 mm
R = 1202± 1.0 revolutions
t = 60±0.50 second The errors are limiting (absolute) errors. Determine the magnitude of power and magnitude of the limiting error in the computed power.

5(a) A second order system has unit feedback and open loop
T.F.G(s)=500/s(s+15).
a) Draw the block diagram for closed loop system and write the characteristic equation.
b) Calculate the Damping ratio and natural frequency,
peak time,
peak overshoot and setting time for the system output when excited by step input.
