A mercury thermometer having a time constant of 0.1 min is placed in a temperature bath at 100°F and allowed to come to equilibrium with the bath. At time t=0t = 0, the temperature of the bath begins to vary sinusoidally about its average temperature of 100°F with an amplitude of 2°F. If the frequency of oscillation is 10/π10/\pi cycles/min, plot the ultimate response of the thermometer reading as a function of time. What is the phase lag?

Place the following transfer function in standard first-order form, and identify the time constant and the steady state gain.

Y(s)X(s)=2s+13\frac{Y(s)}{X(s)} = \frac{2}{s + \frac{1}{3}}

(b)
4 marks

Explain the statement for sinusoidal response. “The output lags behind the input by an angle frequency f and the signal is attenuated”.
