Problem 1[12 pts]
Briefly explain why is there an upper limit on the usable frequency range for an accelerometer.
The sensitivity determined for an accelerometer is 100mVg. I want to use the accelerometer to calibrate a load
cell with an impact hammer (Hammer applies an impact and measures the corresponding force applied).
I apply an impact with the hammer to a mass (0.5kg) fitted with the accelerometer. The accelerometer outputs a
peak signal (at impact) of 350mV. The load cell reads a peak output voltage of 300mV at the impact. Assuming
everything is perfectly aligned, what is the sensitivity of the load cell in the impact hammer (mVN)?
