If the hydraulic proportional valve receives a 4-20 mA current loop signal to control the hydraulic cylinder that extends or retracts to set the position of the blade pitch between 0 and 90 degrees, what is the value of the electrical signal needs to be sent to the proportional valve to set the cylinder rod to extend to 75 so the blade pitch is set at 67.5 degrees?
 
  What will be an ideal response?

Question 2

Why is constant rotational speed of the generator shaft important for many wind turbines?
 
  What will be an ideal response?

Answer to Question 1

The range of 4-20 mA is 16 mA.

16 mA/90 degrees = 0.178 mA/degree + 4 mA offset (0.178 mA x 67.5 degrees + 4 mA) = 16 mA.

Answer to Question 2

For ac generators, a constant rotor speed simplifies maintaining a constant frequency.

Drug abusers experience the following scenario: The pleasure given by their drug (or drugs) of choice is so strong that it is difficult to eradicate even after years of staying away from the substances involved. Certain triggers may cause a drug abuser to relapse. Research shows that long-term drug abuse results in significant changes in brain function that persist long after an individual stops using drugs. It is most important to realize that the same is true of not just illegal substances but alcohol and tobacco as well.
