Question

A piezoresistive accelerometer has the following properties and inputs:

Axial acceleration = 100 g’s

Maximum linearity error = 1%

Sensitivity = 0.5 mV/g

What is the maximum reading of the axial acceleration in mV that the accelerometer may measure? (Type in a one-decimal number)

Answer 1

The maximum reading of the axial acceleration in mV that the accelerometer may measure is

$$R=0.5\text{ mV}/g\cdot100g=50 \text{ mV}.$$
