Vocational
Scenario or
Context
You work as a Test Engineer for a global manufacturer of electrical and mechanical
components and systems. Your Line Manager is responsible for delegating to you and your
colleagues the testing of theory, principles, and hypotheses from several worldwide
company divisions. She has asked you to undertake a series of such evaluations.
Task 1
a) The power (P) dissipated in a resistor (R) which is subjected to a voltage (V) across its
terminals is given by the well-known formula;
𝑃𝑃 =
𝑉𝑉2
𝑅𝑅
Since you are new to the company your new Line Manager is unsure of your capabilities,
and has asked you to use the dimensions of P and V to determine the dimensions of R.
b) A guitar string, made by your Musical Instruments division, has mass (m), length (𝑙𝑙) and
tension (F). It is proposed by one of your junior colleagues that a formula for the period of
vibration (t) of the string might be;
𝑡𝑡 = 2𝜋𝜋�
𝑚𝑚3𝑙𝑙
𝐹𝐹
Use dimensional analysis to show your colleague that this formula is incorrect.
c) An analogue-to-digital converter (ADC), manufactured by your Signals division, takes 20
voltage samples of a ramp waveform, measured in mV, as follows… 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 …40
Your Test colleague has asked you to assist by using a formula to calculate the sum of
these 20 voltage samples.
d) A digital chip, made by your Microelectronics division, counts continuously in the
sequence: 1024, 2048, 4096, 8192, …
You have been asked to use a formula to calculate the 9th count of the chip.
e) A series electrical circuit which you are testing features a capacitor (C) charging via a
resistor (R) and a DC supply voltage (Vs). The voltage across the capacitor (Vc) may be
described by the equation…
vc = vs �1 − e−𝑡𝑡 𝑅𝑅𝑅𝑅� �
where t represents time.
Assuming that Vc is 1V after a time of 4 seconds, determine the approximate value of the
capacitor.

NOTES
The value of R is determined from the number of characters in your email address. As
an example, if your email address is jane.smith@zmail.org then we count all the
characters, including the dot, to be 20. Therefore, the value of R will be 20 MΩ.
The value of the DC supply voltage (Vs) is determined from the year of your birth. As an
example, if you were born in 1994 then we add 1 + 9 + 9 + 4 to arrive at a voltage of 23
V.
f) One of your commonly-used laboratory instantaneous test signal voltages (vs) is described
by the equation…
6sin 2
4sv ft ππ = −
where f = 1MHz and t represents time.
Make time (t) the subject of this formula, and hence determine the first point in time
when the instantaneous signal voltage has a magnitude of +3V.
Note: A colleague has reminded you that you need to have your calculator in radians
mode (RAD) for this calculation, because the angle is given in radians (i.e. π is featured).
Use suitable software to draw at least two cycles of this signal and annotate the drawing
so that non-technical colleagues may understand it.
g) The curve assumed by a heavy power cable, manufactured by your Power division, is
described by the equation…
60cosh
60
xy =
where x and y are horizontal and vertical positions respectively.
Calculate;
(i) The value of y when x is 104.
(ii) The value of x when y is 180.
h) You are testing a decorative clock, to possibly be manufactured by your Consumer
Electronics division, and attach a mass (m) to a string of length (𝑙𝑙) to form a simple
pendulum. Assuming that the acceleration due to gravity (g) of the earth may have an
influence on the period (t) of the pendulum swing, use dimensional analysis to find a
formula for t which could possibly involve m, 𝑙𝑙, and g.
i) You are testing the voltage across a capacitor in an AC circuit. The instrument you are
using indicates this voltage to have a magnitude of 100 V and a phase angle of 45 degrees.
Convert this voltage into a complex number.
j) A set of data from a manufacturing robot has been expressed in matrix form, as follows;
𝐷𝐷 = �8 5
3 4�
Find the inverse of this matrix.

Task 2
a) Your communications division manufactures wireless dongles for use in general
computing. These dongles have a maximum allowed radiative power of +20dBm. A
random sample of ten dongles was taken, and their transmit power was measured by a
colleague, using a spectrum analyser. The results are as follows;
Sample 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
Power
(+dBm) 18.1 19.2 18.4 18.1 19.9 18.1 17.4 19.1 18.1 17.4
(i) Calculate the mean transmit power for these samples.
(ii) Calculate the mode of the samples.
(iii) Calculate the median of the samples
(iv) Determine the standard deviation for the samples.
b) You visit your Manufacturing division, which has a machine producing metal bolts. In a
tray of these bolts, 94% are within the allowable diameter tolerance value. The remainder
exceed the tolerance. You withdraw six bolts at random from the tray. Determine the
probabilities that;
(i) Two of the six bolts exceed the diameter.
(ii) More than two of the six bolts exceed the diameter.
c) Your components division manufactures capacitors, and the mean capacitance of 400
capacitors you have selected is 100µF, with a standard deviation of 7µF. If the
capacitances are normally distributed, determine the number of capacitors likely to have
values between 90µF and 110µF.
Note: Use the z-table given in Appendix A when answering part c.
d) A colleague, who is a Fuels engineer, is testing the effects of an experimental fuel additive
for petrol engines which your company is developing. She adds the same sample amount
of additive to 100 full petrol tanks for the same model of car and records the number of
miles per gallon (mpg) for each car after being driven around a test track at a constant
speed, until the fuel runs out. She knows that such testing undertaken without the
additive produces a mean mpg figure of 44. Collecting results with the additive, she
notices that the mean mpg figure is 48 with a sample standard deviation of 13 mpg.
By interpreting the results of the testing, show whether you agree, or not, with her
hypothesis that the fuel additive has influenced the number of miles per gallon for the
cars.
Draw by hand, or use suitable software, to produce a graphic, suitable for a non-technical
company executive, which represents the results of your analysis.
Note: Use the z-table given in Appendix A when answering part d.

Note: A colleague has reminded you that you need to have your calculator in radians
mode (RAD) for this calculation, because the angle is given in radians (i.e. π is featured).
Use suitable software to draw at least two cycles of this signal and annotate the drawing
so that non-technical colleagues may understand it.
g) The curve assumed by a heavy power cable, manufactured by your Power division, is
described by the equation…
60cosh
60
xy =
where x and y are horizontal and vertical positions respectively.
Calculate;
(i) The value of y when x is 104.
(ii) The value of x when y is 180.
h) You are testing a decorative clock, to possibly be manufactured by your Consumer
Electronics division, and attach a mass (m) to a string of length (𝑙𝑙) to form a simple
pendulum. Assuming that the acceleration due to gravity (g) of the earth may have an
influence on the period (t) of the pendulum swing, use dimensional analysis to find a
formula for t which could possibly involve m, 𝑙𝑙, and g.
i) You are testing the voltage across a capacitor in an AC circuit. The instrument you are
using indicates this voltage to have a magnitude of 100 V and a phase angle of 45 degrees.
Convert this voltage into a complex number.
j) A set of data from a manufacturing robot has been expressed in matrix form, as follows;
𝐷𝐷 = �8 5
3 4�
Find the inverse of this matrix.

Task 2
a) Your communications division manufactures wireless dongles for use in general
computing. These dongles have a maximum allowed radiative power of +20dBm. A
random sample of ten dongles was taken, and their transmit power was measured by a
colleague, using a spectrum analyser. The results are as follows;
Sample 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
Power
(+dBm) 18.1 19.2 18.4 18.1 19.9 18.1 17.4 19.1 18.1 17.4
(i) Calculate the mean transmit power for these samples.
(ii) Calculate the mode of the samples.
(iii) Calculate the median of the samples
(iv) Determine the standard deviation for the samples.
b) You visit your Manufacturing division, which has a machine producing metal bolts. In a
tray of these bolts, 94% are within the allowable diameter tolerance value. The remainder
exceed the tolerance. You withdraw six bolts at random from the tray. Determine the
probabilities that;
(i) Two of the six bolts exceed the diameter.
(ii) More than two of the six bolts exceed the diameter.
c) Your components division manufactures capacitors, and the mean capacitance of 400
capacitors you have selected is 100µF, with a standard deviation of 7µF. If the
capacitances are normally distributed, determine the number of capacitors likely to have
values between 90µF and 110µF.
Note: Use the z-table given in Appendix A when answering part c.
d) A colleague, who is a Fuels engineer, is testing the effects of an experimental fuel additive
for petrol engines which your company is developing. She adds the same sample amount
of additive to 100 full petrol tanks for the same model of car and records the number of
miles per gallon (mpg) for each car after being driven around a test track at a constant
speed, until the fuel runs out. She knows that such testing undertaken without the
additive produces a mean mpg figure of 44. Collecting results with the additive, she
notices that the mean mpg figure is 48 with a sample standard deviation of 13 mpg.
By interpreting the results of the testing, show whether you agree, or not, with her
hypothesis that the fuel additive has influenced the number of miles per gallon for the
cars.
Draw by hand, or use suitable software, to produce a graphic, suitable for a non-technical
company executive, which represents the results of your analysis.
Note: Use the z-table given in Appendix A when answering part d.
