A generator at a regional Power Station produces an alternating voltage, according to the function, 𝑉 below:
? = 240sin(2?)
An electrical engineer needs to determine when this generator will have a voltage that is exactly +120 V.
i) How many times in the interval 0 ? ? ? 2? will the voltage reach +120 V?
ii) Determine the exact times when this occurs for 0 ? ? ? 2?.
I would like the answer to ii) with workings so I can see how it is done, I do not need i) answered.
Thanks
Answer
- The questioner was satisfied and accepted the answer, or
- The answer was disputed, but the judge evaluated it as 100% correct.

Hi Philip, I believe that two of the solutions above produce a negative 120v, where we need the 4 times the voltage is a positive 120. Could you clarify further for me? Thanks!

I managed to see from your solution that positive 120 was just occuring pi/12 seconds on the other side of the x intercept to negative 120v. Wouldn't have got there without your help though, thank you!

Hi Kyshogle, I had unconsciously solved the equation 240cos(2t)=120. Sorry about that. Attached is the solution for 240sin (2t)=120. I apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.
