The figure illustrates a basic mechanical accelerometer. It relates the position y of the mass M to the acceleration of the case, denoted as a = . We have two tasks: x = case position K Spring M Figure 1: 1. Determine the transfer function connecting the input acceleration A to the output Y. 2. Calculate the position y(t) of the output shaft when a(t) = sin(t) for t ≤ 10 using reasonable system parameters and MATLAB. The figure illustrates a basic mechanical accelerometer.
