Answer part (ii)
(i) Fig. Q1 is a diagram of an accelerometer. The accelerometer mass m is suspended by two springs of stiffness k and two dampers with coefficient of damping c. The input acceleration is a=d2xdt2 as shown which results in a displacement of y of the mass m from its at rest position relative to the body of the accelerometer Derive the transfer function relating output displacement to input acceleration i.e.,Y(s)A(s)

(ii) Hence determine the natural frequency and damping ratio of the accelerometer. For an accelerometer mass of 10 g determine the spring stiffiness k that will give a natural frequency of 100 kHz and the coefficient of damping c to give a damping ratio of 0.65
