Problem 13 design a light dimmer circuit that will control a 100w 120vac incandescent lamp where the lamp is completely on when a dc control voltage is 5v, completely off when the dc control voltage is 0v, and that continuously varies in intensity from completely off to completely on as the control voltage is varied between 0v and 5v. you may assume thyristors with the specifications given below are available for your design.

Tom is having a problem with his washing machine. he notices that the machine vibrates violently at a frequency of 1500 rpm due to an unknown rotating unbalance. the machine is mounted on 4 springs each having a stiffness of 10 kn/m. tom wishes to add an undamped vibration absorber attached by a spring under the machine the machine working frequency ranges between 800 rpm to 2000 rpm and its total mass while loaded is assumed to be 80 kg a) what should be the mass of the absorber added to the machine so that the natural frequency falls outside the working range? b) after a first trial of an absorber using a mass of 35 kg, the amplitude of the oscillation was found to be 10 cm. what is the value of the rotating unbalance? c) using me-3.5 kg.m, find the optimal absorber (by minimizing its mass). what would be the amplitude of the oscillation of the absorber?
