b. Create a sine wave with 50Hz and unit 2 amplitude and display it on
a scope
c. Super impose a sine wave with a cosine wave with the same
frequency and show the results
4.
a. What do you understand by the stepping time
b. Explain what happens if the stepping time is
i. Too small
ii. Too large
c. Validate your answer in the above questions by building two
example models and showing they behave as you described
5.
a. How do you limit the time your model is running
b. What changes need to be done if the model needs to run for ever
c. Is the real time and simulation time same ? Explain your answer

c. Is it possible to recover original values from the final signal
8. Repeat the previous model with original signal being digital (Square
wave with 0 & 1 beeing the data)
a. Show the final signal and the original signal in the same scope
b. Can you use a comparison operator to recover original data
c. If so show the original data, received data and the filtered data on
the same scope

as a parameter.
d. What is the advantage of masking a subsystem
11.
a. Model damped SHM
b. User should be able to change frequency and the damping factor
using sliders
