How to Calculate and Solve for Static Sensitivity | First Order Instruments | Dynamic Characteristics of Instruments

Last Updated on January 20, 2021

The image above represents static sensitivity.

To compute for static sensitivity, two essential parameters are needed and these parameters are Co-efficient (b_o) and Co-efficient (a_o).

The formula for calculating static sensitivity:

k = ^b_o / _ao

Where:

k = Static Sensitivity
b_o = Co-efficient
a_o = Co-efficient

Let’s solve an example;
Find the static sensitivity when the co-efficient is 22 and the co-efficient is 11.

This implies that;

b_o = Co-efficient = 22
a_o = Co-efficient = 11

k = ^b_o / _ao
k = ²² / ₁₁
k = 2

Therefore, the static sensitivity is 2.

Calculating for Co-efficient when the Static Sensitivity and the Co-efficient is Given.

b_o = k x a_o

Where;

b_o = Co-efficient
k = Static Sensitivity
a_o = Co-efficient

Let’s solve an example;
Find the co-efficient when the static sensitivity is 21 and the co-efficient is 4.

This implies that;

k = Static Sensitivity = 21
a_o = Co-efficient = 4

b_o = k x a_o
b_o = 21 x 4
b_o = 84

Therefore, the co-efficient is 84.

Calculating for Co-efficient when the Static Sensitivity and the Co-efficient is Given.

a_o = ^b_o / _k

Where;

a_o = Co-efficient
k = Static Sensitivity
b_o = Co-efficient

Let’s solve an example;
Find the co-efficient when the static sensitivity is 10 and the co-efficient is 30.

This implies that;

k = Static Sensitivity = 10
b_o = Co-efficient = 30

a_o = ^b_o / _k
a_o = ³⁰ / ₁₀
a_o = 3

Therefore, the co-efficient is 3.
