Tutorial 1
*To be worked out by tutor in Tutorial class.
The remaining problems to be worked out by students in tutorial hours individually for submission
(hand written only) at the end of Tut. class (Max. 0.5 towards assignment mark). If they cannot
complete, they can do as homework and submit the next day (Max.0.4 towards assignment mark).
The students can work out some of the problems before attending the tutorial class in order to
complete all problems and submit at the end of Tut. Class.
Each student is required to submit individually a hand-written tutorial (all problems)solution
report to the respective Tutor only.

temperature of 15C,how long will it take to indicate a temperature of 17C ?If this
temperature sensor is exposed to a harmonic temperature source, for what frequency range,
will its amplitude response be within 1 0.1? What will be the time delay under these
circumstances?

maximum force input and maximum displacement output)
