Amachine is capable of a power output of 10 w+/-3 db. what is the possible power fluctuation?

The possible value of power fluctuation is 3.9811 W

Solution:

As per the question:

Power output, P = 10 W

Power fluctuation is from +3 dB to -3 dB

Therefore,

Power fluctuation in dB = 6 dB

Now,

P (in dB) =

6 dB =

d₁ = displacement of tern from arctic to antarctic = 11000 miles

d₂ = displacement of tern from antarctic to arctic =   - 11000 miles

d = total displacement for the journey

total displacement for the journey is given as

d = d₁ + d₂

d = 11000 + (-11000)

d = 0 miles

t₁ = time of travel from arctic to antarctic = 3 months = 3 x 30 days = 90 days

t₂ = time of travel from antarctic to arctic = 3 months = 3 x 30 days = 90 days

t = total time of travel

total time of travel is given as

t = t₁ + t₂

t = 90 + 90

t = 180 days

average velocity is given as

average velocity = total displacement/ total time

v = d/t

v = 0/180

v = 0 miles/day
