Consider the accelerometer model in Section 6.6. Its transfer function can be expressed as
Suppose that the input displacement is z(t) = 10 sin 120t mm. Consider two cases, in SI units: (a) k/m = 100 and c/m = 18 and (b) k/m = 106 and c/m = 1800. Obtain the steady-state response y(t) for each case. By comparing the amplitude of y(t) with the amplitudes of z(t) and z¨(t), determine which case can be used as a vibrometer (to measure displacement) and which can be used as an accelerometer (to measure acceleration).
