An analog accelerometer produces a continuous voltage that is proportional to acceleration in gravitational units or \(\mathrm{g}\). Figure P4-63 shows the characteristics of the accelerometer in question. The curvy trace is the actual characteristics; the straight trace is an acceptable linearized model. Design an instrumentation system that will output - 10 \(\mathrm{V}\) for \(-2 \mathrm{~g}\) and \(+10 \mathrm{~V}\) for \(2 \mathrm{~g}\). Note that this accelerometer has an output resistance of \(32 \mathrm{k} \Omega\).
